# Description 🐋
**Nour** is an Arabic Braille tool that converts Arabic words, letters, or sentences to and from Braille notations.
Nour has used the unified braille standard for Arabic that was developed at a conference in Saudi Arabia in 2002. However, some other Arab countries in 2013 do not sign it up thus they use a different standard of braille notation which will be added in the next version of Nour. based on [the world Braille usage](https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000087242) we added the unified braille standard for Arabic and we will add other Arab countries standards.
# Sample:
#### From inside python shell:
```python
>>> from Nour import nour
>>> nour.arabicToBraille('بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم')
>>> nour.brailleToArabic('⠍⠗⠱⠃⠁')
>>> nour.util.brailles
>>> nour.util.arabic
```
#### Output:
```
⠃⠎⠍⠀⠁⠇⠇⠓⠀⠁⠇⠗⠱⠍⠝⠀⠁⠇⠗⠱⠊⠍
مرحبا

# Notes:
* The character that is not in the standard of Arabic Braille code, will be ignored and replaced by space ' '. for **Example:** ~ , ^ , ' , & , /
* Arithmetic and Logic operators are not supported yet.
* Both the Arabic numerals (1,2,3 ...etc) and Eastern Arabic numerals (Hindi) (١,٢,٣ ... etc) are used by the same Arabic Braille code.
* Underline is not tested but it's included!
* When using the argument of output file ' **-o** ' it creates a file and writes the conversion to it, the generated file will be named by default as **'Nour %d-%m-%y %H-%M'.txt**. Ex: **Nour 02-10-2020 08-12.txt**.
* The only file that is supported for reading and writing is text **.txt**
# Roadmap:
* Add other Arab countries braille standards.
* Import different files to read from and write to such as:
- **.docx , .doc, .rtf, .pdf, .html, .odt, xml** and more.
* New feature will be added which is converting the Arabic alphabets in images and extract them to the document file.
* Add mechanism to deal with shapes, Maps ... etc.
* Add Math translation for **Nemeth** and more.
