In the rapidly evolving technological landscape, inclusivity and accessibility in communication are paramount. This research paper introduces the "Haptic-Enabled Language to Pulse" device, a ground-breaking solution designed to empower individuals with speech impairments. The device represents a fusion of advanced technology and assistive healthcare technology, including Python programming, TensorFlow Lite's DeepSpeech model, and Raspberry Pi hardware, all integrated through shell scripting. This comprehensive system enables effective communication by capturing user input in spoken language, processing it into text, and translating it into Morse code for visualization. The vibration patterns from a haptic feedback device then convey the encoded Morse code to the specially-abled user. Beyond its primary function as a communication aid, this device also serves as an educational tool for Morse code learning. Its versatility accommodates diverse contexts, making it valuable for individuals with speech impairments and their communities. This research paper showcases the innovative use of Raspberry Pi alongside software components, contributing to inclusive and accessible communication solutions for speech-impaired and visually impaired individuals.
