Dear Dr. Oberlin,

I don't know of the advancement in Braille, but I taught Sanskrit to a blind student who used a voice recognition system that enunciated what he typed and read in plain text. It was not advanced enough to recognize diacritical marks, but there was a slight but recognizable difference in the intonation between upper-case and lower-case letters. Thus we used the Harvard-Kyoto transliteration scheme to develop an archive of notes (paradigms, forms, etc.) and exercises.

Regards,
Anand

Dear colleagues,

is anyone aware about useful material or a digital utility to learn Sanskrit in Braille?

Best regards,
