THE STATE O F COMPUTERIZED BRAILLE PRODUCTION IN SWEDE N by Marit Leringe The Swedish project aimed at computerized Braille production consists of three parts : I) Construction of a Braille printing device, controlled by a compute r 2) Development of a new abbreviation scheme for Swedish Braill e 3) Writing a program which translates inkprint text to Braille according to the new schem e I. Zoltan Braille Embosse r The Braille printing device is based on an idea of Zoltan Horwath of Datasystem AB, Stockholm, and is thus calle d the Zoltan Braille Embosser or ZBE . i Principle s The ZBE is a modification of a standard rotation press for Braille produced by the Deutsche Blindenstudienanstalt in Marburg, Germany . The modification replaces the two drums with specially built drums, each covered with a matrix o f pins which can be set in two positions - protruded (to form a dot), or refracted . In one revolution of the drums, the pins are set to represent a Braille page . This setting requires roughly ten (10) seconds . Then the desired number of copies ar e printed at a rate of 120 per minute . The
