Transliteration of Digital Gujarati Text Into Printable Braille

Abstract

In the era of technological development, the enhancement is witnessed in the way Braille is produced, stored and retrieved, which makes it easier to use at different places. But it is still difficult to produce an error-free Braille for multifaceted scripts. In this paper, the deliberation is done on the development of translation tool that converts Gujarati text along with English and Hindi text into Braille and store it into a data file that can be directly printed on the Embosser. The technique is explicated by keeping in wits the perspective of the standard Braille system and the table for transformation is also specified. The system gives satisfactory results. As very limited amount of literature is available for visually impaired people of Gujarat, so the proposed system will increase literature in Braille which can be used by them. This paper also forwards the new thought for the assistance to the visually impaired people and Braille learners.
