BRAILLE PRINTING INFO
AIM :
A) TO PRINT IN
BRAILLE SCRIPT FOR BLIND PERSONS THROUGH COMPUTER.
B) TO PROVIDE
WIDER RANGE OF READING MATERIAL TO BLIND PERSONS.
HOW DID THE
IDEA STRIKE ? :
Around 3 years ago on 9th August 1999 my cousine Mr
Sunil Shrikrishna Paranjpe
expired due to Heart Fail at an early age of 43
years.
My Sister-in-Law
Mrs Swapna Sunil Paranjpe & My Niece Miss Manjiri Sunil Paranjpe
took the decision to donate eyes. After Eye-Donation
we came accross with Blind persons
& their plights.
My THINK-TANK got activated !
and an idea of Braille-Through-Computer immerged,
after rigorous hardwork (Day & Night) of Two
& Half Years a software was born which
was Christined as "MY VISION".
It is a combination of Software & Hardware
(National & International PATENT pending).
WHY THE NEED
AROUSE ? :
A) It has been observed that Blind Students have to
wholely depend on the READER for daily
studies
& on WRITER for written exams.
B) Co-ordinating with Reader & Writer is a very
tough job.
C) Conventional method of printing Braille books is
a very costly affair.
D) Braille Script books through conventional method
are NOT Durable.
E) Conventional method is very much time consuming.
It takes Approx. 1 full day for an A-4
size
paper.
F) By any chance, if anything goes wrong in-between
printing one have to throw the Page in
Dust-Bin. It means Loss of Time,
Energy, Material & Money.
G) Blind Students from 8th Std. onwards does not
have their Text Books, Guides, Expected
Question
Sets etc. in Braille Script therefore, they have to ask for the help from
others.
SYSTEMS
REQUIREMENT :
1) Computer System i.e. Pentium 4 or compatible.
2) Ink Jet Printer (with modified Nozel, Driver,
Ink)
3) Colour Scanner (for Scanning different Images,
Sketches, Diagrams etc.)
HIGHLIGHTS OF
THE SYSTEM :
This process is a first of its kind in the
"WORLD". When any
"Text" is entered in computer
system, it can be converted to BRAILLE Script
through Software developed by us. The
BEAUTY of this software is that it provides the
facility to print it on PLAIN paper & that to
in an EMBBOSSED fashion, which is never before
achieved by any one till date. The job
is
done faster compared to conventional method of
Manual Embossing.
THE
PROCESS :
First, any text (Alpha-Numeric) is to be entered
through any one of the available PAGE EDITORS.
Then, Software Programme is to be run on the said
entered Text. which will convert it to BRAILLE
Script.
Next, another Software Programme will PRINT the whole matter on any
ordinary Plain
Paper in an embossed fashion.
PROPERTIES :
1) Conversion from TEXT to BRAILLE Script becomes
faster because of the use of Computer.
2) In this system PLAIN paper is used in place of
conventional Thick Brille Paper. This
itself
CUTS the
cost.
3) Conventional Embossing system is not MUCH
durable, whereas this new system
provides
LONG LIFE
to the printed matter.
