So Braille library have to reject some people who wants to learn Braille. We believe NetBraille-J will close this gap. And wide spread of Braille system will have a good effect to Braille library and to blind people. Recently computer technology has made Braille transcription different to what it used to be. There are a number of transctiption styles in terms of how transcription process to be automated.
Some people type Braille directly with six keys.
Other people only transcribe Kanji to Kana . There are some transcribers who can't read and write Japanese Braille. Our goal is to have volunteer transcribers capable with at least basic Braille literacy and to have other people interested in Braille. For such purpose, powerful and attractive learning support environment is necessary. We have proposed a Japanese Braille literacy support system for the beginners, NetBraille-J .
