02

识别Recognize

OCR 定位并读取页面上每一个盲文点位。Our OCR locates and reads every dot on the page.

03

翻译Translate

微调的大模型把盲文还原成中文,并补回省略的声调。A fine-tuned model restores Chinese, filling in omitted tones.

04

朗读Speak

一键把翻译结果自然地朗读出来。One tap reads the result aloud in a natural voice.

适合谁Who it's for

研究Research

研究者与开发者Researchers & developers

开放的盲文-中文语料、模型与端到端代码,欢迎在此之上继续研究。An open braille-Chinese corpus, model, and end-to-end code to build on.

对许多视障学生来说,盲文是他们书写世界的方式,可明眼的老师往往读不懂。点读通,想让这道墙消失。 For many students with visual impairments, braille is how they write the world. Their sighted teachers often can't read it. Vision-Braille exists to take that wall down.

背后的研究The research behind it

中文盲文常省略声调,使翻译格外困难。我们构建了盲文-中文语料库,并用四阶段课程学习,逐步教会模型在缺少声调时也能准确还原文字。 Chinese braille routinely omits tones, which makes translation hard. We built a braille-Chinese corpus and used a four-stage curriculum to teach the model to recover text even when tones are missing.
