Specialists from the University of Bristol have unveiled an innovative device - a touch pen capable of converting Braille into English text. It is called Braille-tip and has demonstrated high accuracy during the first tests.
The portable device, equipped with a one-centimeter sensor with 19 channels, is a compact tactile sensor that fits on a standard pen and provides dynamic assistance in reading and learning Braille.
The sensor system utilizes fluid channels to transmit information from 19 sensitive areas to the camera, allowing it to detect Braille relief dots. During testing, the reading success rate was 84.5%. The algorithm works in real time and can be adapted for other tactile sensors, making it robust and easy to edit.
The Braille-tip device is designed to help visually impaired people learn independently and improve their Braille literacy, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of reading and writing.
