Abstract

Braille is the most often used and favoured way of communication among these. The Braille system is designed to help people who are blind or deaf by arranging dots to represent numbers, letters, and punctuation. Braille is a universal language available in every language, including Esperanto. It is now used by six million blind people worldwide. In India, effective communication is crucial for exchanging ideas, assigning tasks, leading a team, fostering positive relationships, and other activities. Communication across international borders strengthens our capacity to confront human rights abuses in our communities. It is now simpler to draw attention to these abuses and secure worldwide assistance in the global fight against them. It can be challenging for people without hearing and vision impairments to communicate with one another. People who are deaf or blind have access to various particular languages, such as Braille, tactile signing, moon, etc. This essay focuses on the foundations and characteristics of Braille and English script. It also highlights studies conducted in several languages to translate it into Braille. There is also a discussion of various conversion algorithms and methods. It also discusses the pros and cons of converting English text into Braille, which should be highlighted. As there is very little literature available in English for those who are blind or visually impaired, more literature will be available if this research is done. The survey aims to identify and analyze the best model for effectively converting English text into Braille for blind people.
