The Java programs extend the function of BrailleTrans to support a universal character set, Unicode, and ...

This paper discusses the problems of decentralised, user-driven Braille translation and proposes an alternative: The centralised, email-based RoboBraille service capable of translating to and from contracted Braille, including any preor post proces...

There are two types of Braille: grade I, which is a direct one to one mapping of inkprin...

While sighted mathematicians have long accepted the need for a uniform way of writing math, the situation amongst the blind is different: Rather than standardising, the tradition has been to develop language-, countryor even institution-specific codes for expressing math in Braille in addition to the national Braille codes for literary Braille. Using the RoboBraille service as a foundation, the...
