    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Durrani, Omar Khan; Shet, K C
    In order to bridge the digital divide between the sightless and sighted and to encourage literacy in them, we have designed an architecture for transcribing Braille from optically recognized Indian language. The system will help to convert masses of information in different Indian languages into a tactile reading form. The system mainly consists of OCR modules designed in an efficient manner to promote portability and scalability. In first section, we have introduced the importance and necessity of the work with successive sections clarifying briefly the properties of Braille and Indian scripts. We have also described the OCR work done with respect to Indian languages and the related work to our system. Finally, the System architecture is explained clearly followed by some conclusion and future work. The paper also identifies the needs to be fulfilled to percolate the benefit of the technology developed to the masses.
