Which converts printed text into braille?

• A. Braille translation software
• B. Braille embosser
• C. Phoric
• D. Snellen eye chart

Answer: (A)

Converting printed text into braille is done with braille translation software. This kind of software takes the characters from text and maps them to braille cell patterns, including letters, punctuation, and formatting marks, so the content can be read tactilely. The resulting braille can then be produced on paper by a braille embosser or read on a refreshable braille display. The embosser prints the braille but doesn’t translate the text on its own, it needs the translation step first. The other options don’t perform this conversion: a Snellen eye chart is used to measure vision, and Phoric isn’t a standard term for braille conversion.
