contents This study proposes a real-time system that translates voluntary eye blinks into Morse code, enabling communication for individuals with severe motor impairments. Using a standard webcam and computer vision, the system detects and classifies blinks as short (dot) or long (dash), then decodes them into alphanumeric characters. Experiments with five participants show 62% decoding accuracy and 18-20 seconds response times, demonstrating a viable, low-cost assistive communication method.
