The present invention relates to a real-time Braille learning system and method for the visually impaired. By converting various data such as books, documents, and voices into Braille through image and sound Braille conversion functions, it is easy for the visually impaired to learn Braille, like Hangul. Even characters with complex Braille systems can be converted to Braille in real time, and anyone can easily learn Braille in real time by using an application and a Braille machine, which has an effect of reducing the production time and cost of Braille books. 본 발명은 시각 장애인을 위한 실시간 점자 학습 시스템 및 방법에 관한 것으로, 이미지 및 소리 점자 변환 기능을 통해 책이나 문서, 음성 등 다양한 데이터를 점자로 변환함으로써, 시각 장애인들의 점자 학습이 용이하며, 한글처럼 점자 체계가 복잡한 문자도 실시간으로 점자 변환이 가능하며, 애플리케이션 및 점자기를 이용함으로써 누구나 손쉽게 실시간으로 점자를 학습할 수 있으며, 점자도서의 제작 시간 및 비용을 절감할 수 있다는 효과가 있다.
