How it is calculated
Each cell is matched against the unified Arabic Braille table, ⠧ becomes لا, and after ⠼ the cells 1, 12, 14 and so on read as digits until a space.
Example
Result: Arabic text: السلام عليكم; Characters decoded: 10; Cells not recognised: None.
Limits and caveats
- Vowel mark cells and contractions are not decoded, so they show as ? or an unintended letter.
- Some cells mean a letter or a punctuation mark depending on context; the tool always reads them as letters.
Questions about this tool
Why does ? appear?
That cell is not in the Arabic letter table the tool uses; it may be a vowel mark or punctuation.
How are numbers written in Arabic Braille?
With the number sign ⠼ followed by the same digit cells as English Braille, so 1 is ⠼⠁.
Can I decode English Braille here?
No, the same cell stands for a different letter: ⠞ is ت in Arabic and t in English. Use the English Braille tool.
