THE MARKOV SYSTEM OF PRODUCTION RULE S - A UNIVERSAL BRAILLE TRANSLATOR by Wolfgang A . Slaby Abstrac t It is the goal of this report to present the concept of MARKOV algorithm as a universal translator into Braille, whic h is applicable to every language and every definition of the respective (Grade 1 or Grade 2) Braille and to which all th e language-dependent components are supplied as parameters . This report describes in detail the concept of MARKOV algorithm and attempts to make evident that this concept i s an adequate general formalization of the translation process of inkprint into Braille . For some years past there have been developed several methods and algorithms for the different languages in order t o translate automatically an inkprint text of a special language into Grade 1 or Grade 2 Braille . As in the diverse language s there arise very different problems in automatizing this process of translation, naturally each of these algorithms possesse s a lot of language-dependent components . In order to localize these language-dependent components which mainly come from the definition of the Grade 2 Braille in the respective language we first of all will
