The Braille Board makes use of an Arduino inside to carry its functions. With a preloaded dictionary, one tactile button translates a random word into braille. This is then displayed on the Braille Board face. Users can then practice interactive braille reading. To make it even more independent, the Braille Board makes use of a speaker to output the random word so those can self-check. Currently we are building a prototype and gathering funding to make it fully functional.

Compared to other devices on the market, the Braille Board boasts the advantages of being much cheaper and more accessible while being just as effective.
