ABSTRACT
Communication between people is a very important thing, sighted people use
script provided by languages such as English or Arabic to write on papers. However,
in case of people who are blind, they use a different type of script known as Braille
named after its founder “Louis Braille” which is the system of reading and writing
used by people who are blind where they feel raised dots on a Braille page with tips of
their fingers; each language can be represented using Braille script, which differs
from one language to another .The Braille to Text/Voice Converter (BT/VC) is a system that designed to help sighted people to be able to understand Braille script without any knowledge in Braille language using mobile phones on Android operating system by converting a Braille image taken by the mobile camera into other scripts. The aim of this project is to develop a system that is able to translate a Braille script into multilingual script and represents the converted script as text or voice to the user using Android application, the system was developed to translate Braille papers into English language.
