MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521134634 A) filed by Mit Art, Design And Technology University, Pune, Maharashtra, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'artificial intelligence-optical character recognition based digital content recognition and embedded actuator-driven refreshable braille display system.'
Inventor(s) include Ayush Pasekar; Prof. Deepak Shah; Rishi Narkar; Sara Khan; Shreya Wani; Harsh Walia; and Dr Ramachandra V Pujer.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an assistive accessibility apparatus (100) configured to enable multimodal access to visual and digital information for users with visual impairment. The apparatus (100) comprises a housing (102) supporting a camera unit (104), a communication interface (106), and a control unit (108). The control unit (108) receives image data, webpage or document data, and user-input data and processes the image data via optical character recognition to generate decoded text data, while webpage and document data are processed using non-OCR text extraction to generate extracted text data. The control unit (108) further performs AI-based tactile-graphics processing and Braille translation to supply output to a tactile actuator matrix (110), a refreshable Braille display (112), and an audio output module (116). An adaptive output engine (108a) dynamically prioritises tactile-graphics, Braille, and audio modes based on user preference or learned behaviour."
