Pune, Jan. 30

Pune-based Modular InfoTech Pvt. Ltd, software packages development company, has developed the Shree Lipi-Braille translation software, which would help in conversion of books of 12 Indian languages to Braille. It has also made the first Braille copy of the President Mr A.P J. Abdul Kalam's autobiography in Marathi. Dr M.N. Cooper, Chairman, Modular, told newsperson that the software can not only translate to Braille from a soft-copy of any book in Shree-Lipi format, but also can translate from a soft-copy of a book keyed in other formats of other DTP softwares as well. With this, almost any book in any Indian language, available as a soft-copy can now be translated to Braille in a very short time. After translation, the book can be printed on different Braille Embossers, or screen-printed, or printed by metal type. Apart from translation, Shree-Lipi-Braille also allows six-key-typing, which is the standard way of direct data entry in Braille
