Abstract
Braille translation software translates electronic documents written in different writing system of the world into Braille code. From these files, a refreshable Braille display can present tactile Braille or a Braille embosser can produce a hard copy on special paper. Few products are available which are economically costly and they mainly focus on national and international languages. There is a need for such products for regional languages of India also. Several researches are carried out on different languages to convert it into Braille. Odia Braille is one of the regional language in which moderate research has been carried out. This paper is focused on translation of electronic document of Odia into Braille as well as Braille to text. The generated Braille code is compatible with Braille embosser of any printer. The mapping table of Unicode of Odia letters and Braille code has been developed for translation. The translation algorithm is also tested on the national language Hindi for its effectiveness. The inverse translation of Braille to text also verified and found the results are satisfied.
