ABSTRACT
Visually impaired people use Braille in their daily life. Braille text is printed in many ways like a handrail of stairs, guide maps, and so on. Visually impaired people read these Braille guides to navigate themselves. However, misprinted Braille may leads visually impaired people to wrong or dangerous direction. Misprinted Braille should be corrected by sighted people. On the other hand, most of sighted people can not read Braille directory. To solve this problem, we developed a Braille reading application for sighted people. User can read about 70% of Braille text from this application just by taking a photograph.
