Read full description
Braille Translator & Scanner turns a photo of braille into text. Point your camera at an embossed page and the app marks every braille cell with the letter it stands for, then gives you the whole text to read, copy or share. A braille reader, braille translator and braille scanner in one app.
Made for teachers, parents and students who work with braille, and for anyone learning to read it.
HOW IT WORKS
• Take a photo of a braille page, or import one from your gallery
• The AI finds every cell and reads its six dots
• Read the text under your photo, with each letter right on its cell
• Switch the photo between letters and braille with one tap to check any cell
OUR OWN BRAILLE AI
We trained our own models for braille: one finds the cells, the other reads the dots. They learned from 1.4 million braille cells and read 96% of cells correctly, end to end, on real user photos they never saw in training.
11 BRAILLE LANGUAGES
English (Grade 1 and Grade 2), Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Polish, Russian, Uzbek, Greek, Latvian and Arabic. Auto-detect picks the right one for you. More languages are coming soon.
BRAILLE KEYBOARD AND CHART
Type braille on a six-dot keyboard and get text, or type text and see it in braille. When you're not sure about a letter, the braille chart is one tap away. The keyboard is free.
FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS
Check braille homework without knowing braille yourself. Follow the page cell by cell and spot the cell that doesn't match.
