Braille books get new software boost

Mon, 07/01/2019 - 11:10 -- geeta.nair

A new software developed by Bengaluru students will completely change the way visually challenged students access maps and images in Braille books. 

Soft-Braille’ — a software developed by the faculty and students of information science and engineering department of MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) has made it easier to print images and maps on common Braille stationary using just a  dot-matrix printer, a huge leap from earlier days when such an exercise required high-quality swell paper and expensive thermal printers.  And the best part is that the price for printing a page has now come down to Rs 5 per page with the help of  the software from the earlier Rs 70 to Rs 100.
