Defining Braille
Braille
Braille, named after its creator, Louis Braille, a Frenchman who lost his sight as a result of a childhood accident, is a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired, including people who are blind, deafblind or who have low vision. It can be read either on embossed paper or by using refreshable braille displays that connect to computers and smartphone devices. Braille can be written using a slate and stylus, a braille writer, an electronic braille notetaker or with the use of a computer connected to a braille embosser. Today, there are braille codes for over 133 languages.
