Abstract
In the past, conversion of a printed text to Braille has been a slow, painstaking process. Trained transcriptionists, using a Braille Writer, manually translated each character or group of characters into its appropriate Braille symbol. Using this method, the transcription of large text can take literally thousands of human‐hours and cost an exorbitant amount of money.
