Abstract

Because there is a dearth of accessible reading material, especially braille printed books, this blind reading aid was developed for EFL students. No longer will a blind learner have to rely on braille-printed books to learn and grow. This technology enables visually impaired EFL students to access the same literary works as their sighted peers. This study employs a qualitative approach to experimentation, with data gathered through observation, interviews, and a review of existing literature. This system planning is described using a flowchart and block diagram. The Blackbox testing approach was employed to conduct the tests in this research. The Raspberry Pi was used as the microcontroller, and the Push Button on the Raspberry Pi Camera was used to initiate the graphical capture and subsequent image file processing by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS). This procedure yields an mp3 file that can be played through loudspeakers or speakers, allowing blind people to "read" printed text by osmosis.

Abstract

This study focuses on the novel Beauty is a Wound, which was originally translated by Annie Tucker from the Indonesian novel Eka Kurniawan's Cantik Itu Luka (2002). This study was conducted to identify and analyze instances of gender inequality in "Beauty is a Wound." This study aims to: 1) identify the forms of gender inequality portrayed by women in Beauty is a Wound; and 2) the meaning behind inequality. The qualitative descriptive approach was adopted in this investigation. Mansour Fakih's (2013) idea is being utilized by researchers. The findings revealed that women face four categories of gender inequality: subordination (four), marginalization (six), violence (25), and stereotyping (five). In this study, the meaning of inequality is that (1) women's characters do not provide the same rights as other children to get education, study, and socialize; (2) prisoners appear helpless and do not have the right to manage their own lives, which results in marginalization; (3) they were subjected to poor treatment at the hands of Japanese soldiers, which resulted in both physical and psychological injuries, which led to the claim that it was violence; and (4) the assumption that they were vile individuals.
