Abstract

Machine Translation has been one of the main areas of research in the dawn of Artificial Intelligence. Although getting a human-level accuracy through a machine was considered as a task that is next to impossible, this cliché is on the verge of being broken. The paper discusses the development of an MT system for English-Bharti Braille. The system translates the English test into Braille which can be read by people who are visually impaired. For this a separate module for handling name entities is incorporated into the MT pipeline. It is an attempt to disseminate knowledge to people who have a craving for learning. The results of the system are compared using BLEU metric and have shown improvement over the baseline system.
