John,
Possibly as long as two years ago, I believe there was something on this 
list about a project to electronically read braille.  It seems to me that 
it had something to do with researching scanning and OCR techniques where 
something simpler that print was required.  I don't remember any more 
details and I haven't searched the NFB-RD archives, but it might be worth 
a look.
