Refreshable Braille displays are an absolute necessity for the visually impaired individuals, offering tactile access to digital content through dynamic pin arrays that form Braille characters. These displays connect to computers and smartphones granting users access to a wide range of information and encouraging independence and inclusion in a digital world. While speech output suffices for many materials, electronic Braille displays are preferred for technical texts, despite their high cost and limited availability of translated books. To address these challenges, a novel device is proposed, featuring a single Braille cell design. The paper involves designing a compact hardware solution with solenoid-based tactile pins controlled by an Arduino microcontroller via a Bluetooth-enabled application. This innovative approach promises cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and compatibility with various digital devices, enhancing accessibility and independence for visually impaired individuals.
