There are a total of 96 Braille cells on the device developed. If the number of characters is found to be more than 96 after it is scanned, buttons placed on the device are used to carry out some necessary operations on this text. Keypad buttons were used to more elegant and small footprint.

When “Backward” button is pressed on, the previous 96 characters from the text is sent to the Braille cell to enable reading by touching with hands.
