shall wait till this technology come in real shape for sale in market.
secondly, now these days even in prominent blind schools braille is not a
subject of interest. 2-3 years back, there was a news in accessindia that
somebody have developed a braille embosser using dot matrix printer, still
it is a news. such researches are better for award and reward winning.

Subject: [AI] Soft Braille promises to bring images alive for blind and low
vision people
A group of students and faculty members at a Bengaluru college have
developed a software called Soft Braille to help visually impaired people
get better access to images and maps in Braille.
Accessing images and maps is a major challenge for blind and low vision
students, coming in the way of critical choices in academics. A new software
aims to help them overcome those challenges.
Called Soft- Braille, it has been developed by a group of students from
Bengaluru and claims to make the printing ofimages and maps on Braille
stationery easier. A dot matrix printer will be used for this and it will be
made available at cheap rates.
Created by students and faculty members of the MS Ramaiah Institute of
Technology (MSRIT), this could make a significant impact for students,
believes law student Maitreya Shah, who appreciates these efforts. Read in
