Abstract
A text-to-Braille service is disclosed herein that includes an imaging module. The imaging module includes multiple cameras arranged to image part of a page of text. Each camera has a different field of view of the page, so each camera images a unique portion of the page. The multiple images can be combined to form a single image upon which optical character recognition is performed. The text of the page can be converted into Braille characters and displayed on a refreshable Braille device.
