  • Conversion of Braille to Text in English, Hindi and Tamil Languages
    International Journal of Computer Science, Engineering and Applications (IJCSEA) Vol.3, No.3, June 2013 CONVERSION OF BRAILLE TO TEXT IN ENGLISH, HINDI AND TAMIL LANGUAGES S.Padmavathi1, Manojna K.S.S2, Sphoorthy Reddy .S3 and Meenakshy.D4 Amrita School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, India [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], ABSTRACT .The Braille system has been used by the visually impaired for reading and writing. Due to limited availability of the Braille text books an efficient usage of the books becomes a necessity. This paper proposes a method to convert a scanned Braille document to text which can be read out to many through the computer. The Braille documents are pre processed to enhance the dots and reduce the noise. The Braille cells are segmented and the dots from each cell is extracted and converted in to a number sequence. These are mapped to the appropriate alphabets of the language. The converted text is spoken out through a speech synthesizer. The paper also provides a mechanism to type the Braille characters through the number pad of the keyboard. The typed Braille character is mapped to the alphabet and spoken out. The Braille cell has a standard representation but the mapping differs for each language. In this paper mapping of English, Hindi and Tamil are considered. KEYWORDS Braille Conversion, Projection Profile, Tamil Braille conversion, Hindi Braille conversion, Image Segmentation 1. INTRODUCTION Visually impaired people are an integral part of the society. However, their disabilities have made them to have less access to computers and Internet than the people with clear vision.

  • Text to Braille Conversion: a Survey
    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-4, Issue-1, Jan.-2018 http://iraj.in TEXT TO BRAILLE CONVERSION: A SURVEY 1JOSEPHINE STELLA, 2KRISHNA S VALSAN 1Assistant Professor CMS College, Chinnavedampatti 2 MPhil.Scholar CMS College, Chinnavedampatti E-mail:[email protected] , [email protected] Abstract- In the current era the world around us is going to be electronic. Everything is at present available at digital and virtual world and the whole world is taking the advantages of that but the problem is arising when the visually impaired person will be concerned about the electronic and digitized world. Approximately 84 million people in this world are not able to see and those blind persons could not be able to take advantage of electronic world like reading of digital data from the electronic thing. They use the Braille language to read the data with the sense of touching to it but the problem is arisen when the reading has to be done from the electronic content as they cannot sense it by touching to it. Software is developed to perform the translation of Text to Braille and support of translation to Braille from many languages with the translation following grade rules. This application is improvements to the existing system in terms of features and abilities in translating the text into Braille code. Among those features that can be added to this application is to add the number of letters that can be translated. This application is a web based application. Index Terms- Electronic text, Rule Based Algorithm, Braille board I.

A. (2017). Writing signed languages: What for? What form? American Annals of the Deaf, 161 (5), 509–527. WRITING SIGNED LANGUAGES : W HAT FOR ? WHAT FORM ? IGNED LANGUAGES around the world have tended to maintain an “oral,” unwritten status. Despite the advantages of possessing a written form of their language, signed language communities typically resist and reject attempts to create such written forms. The present article ad - dresses many of the arguments against written forms of signed lan - guages, and presents the potential advantages of writing signed languages. Following a history of the development of writing in spoken as well as signed language populations, the effects of orthographic types upon literacy and biliteracy are explored. Attempts at writing signed lan - guages have followed two primary paths: “alphabetic” and “icono - graphic.” It is argued that for greatest congruency and ease in developing biliteracy strategies in societies where an alphabetic script is used for the spoken language, signed language communities within Sthese societies are best served by adoption of an alphabetic script for DONALD A. G RUSHKIN writing their signed language. Keywords: writing, written signed the development of a conventionally GRUSHKIN IS A PROFESSOR , D EAF STUDIES languages, biliteracy, Deaf education, accepted written system for signed lan - PROGRAM , C ALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY , orthography guages has yet to take place.
