This is a four line, twenty-eight cell braille slate that follows the 8-Dot Braille system.
Braille is a code used to represent the written word with patterns of raised dots. Traditional braille consists of six dots per cell, but six dots can only represent 64 unique patterns. Braille overcomes this limitation by letting two or more cells represent a single character. Preceding the symbol for a letter, for example, with a dot six makes that letter capital.
It is often desirable, especially in scientific or computer fields, to be able to represent a full character set, like ASCII in a one-to-one correspondence. That is where the 8-dot cell becomes important. With 8 dots to represent a character, you can make 256 unique patterns.
American Printing House for the Blind, Inc. lives and breathes braille and hopes this tool you can print yourself proves useful for education and life.
If you have any suggestions about the design or questions about usage or printing, please leave comments for us and we would love to read them.
