Identification of hijaiyah letters using wirelessly controlled Arabic braille module

Among the major issues faced by the visually impaired people is the inability to read, and this is could be addressed by learning braille. However the scarcity of skilled instructors to teach the braille codes to the visually impaired people limits the learning process. This paper presents a psychop...
