Abstract
In this study, we analyzed relations between variation and quantity of ordinary letter written visibly and that of translated Braille. We prepared text files with ordinary letter documents written visibly and Braille ones, then analyzed mutual relation. We found that there were possibilities to suppose volume of translated documents into Braille from ordinary letter written visibly. We will continue to collect data and analyze various documents.
