Bengali Braille to Text Translator Achieves 97.25% Accuracy

Researchers have developed a geometric approach to translate Bengali Braille characters into text, addressing a gap in available software for visually impaired individuals learning the language. The system processes images of Braille, tackling challenges like image degradation, rotation, and dot deformation through specialized image processing and geometric analysis. This method achieves an accuracy rate of 97.25% in recognizing Braille characters. AI

IMPACT Provides a specialized tool to improve accessibility for visually impaired individuals learning Bengali.
