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)

It can translate single sided uncontracted, Grade one braille. But not UEB or contracted. Double sided braille confuses it because it sees both sides. Good for translating while learning uncontracted.
