This is a simple tool for converting text to and from braille. It provides a web interface where users can input text and choose a language and grade for transcription.

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Read README for backend
3. Read README for frontend

Once the servers are running, navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser to access the web interface. Input your text and select a language and grade, then click the "Translate" button to see the result in braille.

You can also upload an image containing text and have it transcribed to braille. Click the "Choose File" button and select an image, then click the "Upload" button. The transcribed text will be displayed on the screen.

The backend is a Python server built with FastAPI. It provides many endpoints like:

• /transcriptor: Accepts text input and language/grade parameters, and returns the corresponding braille output.
• /uploadfile: Accepts an image file and returns the text transcribed to braille.

The server uses Tesseract OCR to extract text from the image, and then passes the text to the BrailleTranscriptor class for transcription.

The frontend is a React application built with Create React App. It provides a simple interface for inputting text and selecting a language and grade. It also allows users to upload an image for transcription.

The application uses the axios library to communicate with the backend server.
