Abstract: Blind people are the integral part of our society. However their disabilities have made them to have less access to computers, digital data and high quality educational software than the people with clear eye sight and because of this they would not have been able to improve their own knowledge. The impact of this is on their economic as well as educational growth in the society. They have to face two major problems first, they must learn the skills and techniques which will enable them to carry on as a normal, efficient citizen in the community and second they must become aware of and learn to cope with public attitudes and misconception about blindness and misconception which goes to very roots of our culture and permeate every aspects of social behaviour and thinking. We can solve the first problem with the help of proper training and facility. One way to minimize this vast gap and to impart a invert part of this trend is to develop a system within their economic reach, which will strengthen their knowledge. The great problem faced by the blind are how to read digital data with their Braille language. As in Braille language the manner of six dots arrangement in 3x2 matrix manner and it can only be sense by tactile means. The blind person could not read it without touching to the arrangement of the dots for the text. This paper introduces a new text to Braille converged electro-mechanically actuated Braille display with low cost, easy to use and portable with compactness by which the blind can read Braille alphabet on a single finger in familiar reading manner.
