In an increasingly digitised world, accessibility to multimedia content is vital for fostering inclusivity and empowering individuals with disabilities. The study presented deals with innovative approach to enhancing accessibility for blind individuals by summarising video content into text and further converting it into Braille script. This dual process seeks to bridge the informational gap that often exists for the blind community, enabling them to access and comprehend a wide array of video content. This dual process aims to bridge the informational gap for the blind community, enabling them to access and comprehend a wide array of video content. The first phase involves video summarization using advanced technologies like automatic speech recognition (ASR) and computer vision. This process captures spoken words, dialogues, and other auditory elements while analysing the visual aspects of the video. The second phase converts the text-based video summary into Braille script, a tactile writing system with raised dots that blind individuals can read by touch. It presents a comprehensive framework for making video content accessible to blind individuals through text summarization and Braille conversion. This approach offers a transformative solution which could tremendously improve the quality of life, independence, and opportunities for the blind community.
