Abstract:
1. A method for autonomous learning of Braille, by an unsighted user utilizing a micro-controller based system, said method further comprising the steps of: (a) activating, by an activation device, said micro-controller-based system; (b) selecting an embossed card from among a plurality of embossed tags, said embossed card further comprising: (c) passing said embossed card over an RFID reader of said micro-controller-based system, said passing step causing said RFID tag to be read by said reader; (d) transmitting said reading as a coded signal from said reader to said micro-controller; (e) converting by said micro-controller, under control of a Braille application, said coded signal to an audible tone; (f) transmitting said audible tone through an audio output device for reception by said unsighted system user; and (g) integrating, at said micro-controller-based system, an interface port, wherein said interface port enables flashing of a set of firmware and enables downloading a set of new audible tone files into a database of said micro-controller-based system, wherein the plurality of embossed tags is expandable to include user created tags that are assignable to correspond to at least one of the new audible tone files.
