ScanText For The Blind

Designing a simple and convenient scanner to braille language converter such that a user(blind person) could easily sense the letters and learn the language additionally. If the user already know the braille language and say he wants to read a newspaper,then a person can take a text document picture from a smartphone and connect it to our portable device then it easily turns that text into braille language,by this blind person can easily go through a newspaper. The hack mainly used an android app to scan the text(ocr logic) and this would be served as an input to the model which would in turn match the co-ordinates for the braille keypad and the user could thus sense the letters scanned.
