Gesture-Based Braille-to-Text Conversion System

摘要

A Braille user interface for a Braille communication system on a touch screen-enabled electronic device with a touch screen and a touch screen-enabled interface. A user inputs a six-bit Braille character composed of raised dots and non-raised dots. Raised dot are created by a swipe in a first direction (say right) while non-raised dots may be created by a swipe in a second direction (say left). Swiping may be performed on an input area of the touch screen which is smaller than the touch screen. The user is offered an opportunity to perform a character check of entered Braille characters. A character check may include playing back the entered character and then offering the user the option of correcting that entered character.
