Efficient Text-to-Braille Conversion Algorithm in C++: Enhancing Accessibility for the Visually Impaired

Abstract

This research paper focuses on developing a C++ code that converts user input of text strings or numbers into Braille characters, enhancing accessibility for visually impaired individuals. It uses C++ vectors for efficient storage of input data and a comprehensive mapping mechanism to accurately convert each character and digit into its corresponding Braille representation. The converted Braille characters are stored in a dictionary text file, serving as a reference for visually impaired users. The paper discusses implementation details, data structures, and presents experimental results on accuracy and performance. Overall, the research provides a concise C++ code for converting text and numbers into Braille, promoting inclusivity and usability for visually impaired individuals.
