Ratings and reviews

Very good. Can recognize a whole braille page, even double-sided text. Number of errors is not too much. Keeps history of previously recognized Braille pages. Supports Grade 2 UEB as well as simple char-by-char interpretation. Some other languages are supported as well.

The app worked great, but it didn't recognize the ç character. Anyway, no problem, I understood the text despite this minor problem. It would be nice to have more languages though, such as Portuguese (and of course others too)

I received something in the mail that was in Braille, I was hoping I could find a free app that would help me decode it but so far I haven't found one and the one that I thought would help you have to pay for I don't find that very helpful
