Abstract :
Braille, a touch-reading system for visually impaired people was first introduced in 1825 by Louis Braille. Editing and reprinting Braille text that was originally embossed on paper is both time consuming and labour intensive. This paper presents an automatic system to recognize Braille pages and to convert Braille documents into English or Chinese text for editing
