Abstract

It has been suggested that blind and visually impaired people may have difficulty reading Braille that is widely set in the public place according to barrier free policy of the government. This paper describes a new system that recognizes Braille characters from a photo taken by a mobile phone with embedded camera. The photo is dealt with by a Java program developed by "DoJa I-appli tool kit " to supply a real time reply.
