Aplicación móvil con procesamiento de imágenes en la nube para la transcripción de Braille literario a texto en español

Abstract

A great problem for the development of reading and writing skills for people with visual disabilities is the lack of timely feedback from their tutors, this is due to the ignorance of the companions of the person with this disability in the literary or braille language. due to the long times taken to read texts in braille, which when compared to reading in ink, can last twice as long if they are experts in reading braille. The foregoing generates a greater overload for the teacher or tutor, therefore a delay in the learning of these graphemes. On the other hand, each of the sheets has a higher cost, directly affecting the economy of the blind population, this generates a social gap that prevents blind people from obtaining an adequate and quality education, a situation that not only affects their personal condition but also their family. Due to this inclusion problem, it is intended to develop an application for the transcription of literary Braille into text in Spanish, using a photograph saved or taken from a text written in Braille, a photograph that will be sent to a server in the cloud for further processing and As a final result, the translation into Spanish will return, this in order to bring the blind people closer to helping the learning processes of the disabled, which will provide feedback to the blind in their writing processes. Taking into account that access to educational resources and/or materials are limited and many times you only have access to normal stationery such as lined and squared notebooks, the application must have support for different paper textures, this means which will not only allow the processing of Braille writings on white sheets, but will also be able to translate writings on squared and lined sheets, sheets that are commonly used in education
