Braille display and screen reader software to help the visually impaired browse the internet

The goal of this project is to create a Refreshable Braille Display and Screen reader software that will aim to help the visually impaired browse the internet. Bridge2Africa program, in partnership with ASU students, seeks to solve the problem of the non-blind-friendly nature of internet browsing. This git repo linked is the screen reading software and the communication software to the microcontroller. The screen reading software is the interface between the user and the braille display. They use the software to browse the internet and press certain buttons to do different navigation functions and translate certain information on the screen. This repo also holds the communication software where we have created our own protocol that converts HTML information from the screen into binary instructions for our braille display to understand

Technologies: Python, Arduino, HTML, C, circuitry/Logic gates, 3D-modeling
