Visually impaired students (VIS) are unable to get visual information, which has made their learning process complicated. This paper discusses the overall situation of VIS and identifies major challenges that they are facing in getting education. The Braille system is followed to educate blind students. However, lack of Braille based educational resources and technological solutions have made the learning process lengthy and complicated for VIS. As a developing country, most of the people cannot afford for the costly Braille related technological tools for VIS. Therefore, a mobile phone based Braille Tutor System, for Android platform is designed to provide an easy Braille learning technology for VIS. The main objective of the project is to create a low cost, economical presentation device and Braille tutor system based on Android for the blind. The project uses An Android Application which acts as a tutor at sender side and server side system which receives the data and converts to text to speech and even displays it in graphical manner at the Receiver Side. The Text can also covert into speech at the Receiver Side. Tutor App for visually impaired is a device that can be used by blind for two major purposes i.e. Note Taker, Electronic Braille Tutor System.
