How to use it
- Enter dot numbers and braille code.
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
Each group of digits 1 to 6 becomes a Braille cell, then the cells are read with the UEB English or unified Arabic table. / separates words.
Example
Inputs: Braille code = English (UEB grade 1). Result: Text: Hello; Cells not recognised: None.
6 125 15 123 123 135
⠠⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕
Limits and caveats
- Cells must be separated by spaces, and 0 stands for a blank cell.
- Decoding follows the Braille tools: grade 1 for English and no diacritics for Arabic.
Questions about this tool
Do I write 125 or 1-2-5?
Both work; hyphens inside a group are removed.
Why is 7 or 8 rejected?
Literary Braille uses six-dot cells. Dots 7 and 8 belong to eight-dot computer Braille.
Does the order of digits in a cell matter?
No. 521 gives the same cell as 125.
