Abstract
A person should be able to connect with other people to have a fulfilling life. Having challenges
such as being blind, deaf, or mute is a significant concern in this matter. According to world statistics
and research, it has shown that 0.2% of the world’s population lives with severe deaf blindness. This
project aims to design and develop a communication system to improve interactions between a person
without any disability and a deaf-blind person or between two deaf-blind people. Each may
communicate differently, so this system will have a textual display for those who can see, a speech
output for those who can hear, and a tactile braille display for those who cannot see or hear. This system
can benefit educational institutes and care homes facilitating people with the above disabilities. The
primary purpose of this system is to make the differently abled people feel independent and confident
by seeing, hearing, and talking to each other without facing the barriers in the translation.
