Abstract/Summary
Communication has played a vital role in our everyday living. But what is communication? Communication is basically the exchange of information between two or more people. With our world that's innovating faster as time passes, we can't simply deny that communication is important. Communication between people is very easy as long as you can reach them whether is it with the use of the email, mobile phones, letters and any other forms of interactions. Communication via email and mobile phones are almost available to all but not for the disabled. A good example of which is the communication among the visually impaired. Communication with the use of devices posts a difficulty to the visually impaired since they cannot see what they are going to click to be able to compose or read a message. With the innovation we have now, it is undeniable that devices for the visually impaired are being produced so they can act as a normal person. In this thesis, the group created an SMS device for the visually impaired. The output of the project can send and receive sms messages which can be read via braille display. The creators used microcontroller PIC18f4620 and programmed using MikroBasic.
