Abstract

Hijaiyyah Braille^s learning methods for the blind are still conventional, so their independence in learning cannot be achieved. There is also hijaiyyah learning media such as dynamic hijaiyyah braille display, which has not provided interactive features between the tool and the user, so the user has not been able to use the tool independently. This study aims to develop a Refreshable Hijaiyyah Braille to recognize the voice and be integrated with android to provide interactive hijaiyyah learning for blind people. The research method used is the research and development method which is divided into ten stages, namely, (1) problem identification and objectives, (2) needs analysis, (3) data search, (4) hardware design, (5) software design, (6) synchronization, (7) PCB layout and component assembly, (8) tool assembly, (9) testing, (10) observation and evaluation. As a result, braille characters are formed by six dots consisting of solenoids that dynamically form a surface that can be used as a basis for making braille letters. This tool also has a sound feature that comes from two speakers. The voice recognition feature on the densest tool in the android application is specifically made to complete the function of refreshable hijaiyyah braille.
