The purpose of this study is to develop a braille word processor for translating Kana documents into braille by personal computing system with auxiliary function of synthesized voice so that visually impaired people could operate the system themselves without the assistance of the volunteers. The following results can be obtained. (1) Executing time of translating Kana into braille can be reduced by less than one-fifth in comparison with the time by using the algorithm previously presented^<2)>. (2) Organ of vision can be substituted by the voice recorder/regenerator board and voice synthesizer as auxiliary function of voice. (3) A copy of document can be transmitted through the telephone wire by using communication function of computers. In conclusion, it can be said that visually impaired people can make a copy of braille with ease by the computer-assisted braille word processor (CAB-WORD) with synthesized voice in it. Then they can make as copies of document as they want, by using output device of braille pattern or stereocopy system. And also it can be said visually impaired people can mutually exchange a copy of document made by their hand through computer network.
