Abstract

In this paper, the authors present a noble heuristic reading machine for blind people. The goal of this paper is to use intelligent-control method to settle down the reading machine by a touch-pat device for blind people. The proposed "A noble heuristic reading device for blind people" can efficiently help blind people for reading and train the blind people learning the dot-touched words as well. First of all, the feedback control theorem associated with some sensors is used to accomplish the action of automatic fixed position of the reading machine. Second, a heuristic program used to analyze a certain word by converting dot-touched signals into meaningful code will transfer word-code into phonetic signals and speak out for blind people effectively and precisely through personal computer interface. There are three units in the proposed design, which includes the hardware structure, the analysis for certain word-meaning and the phonetic output of the specified words. The test results show that the proposed smart reading machine can effectively prompt learning and reading effects for blind people.
