Happy #WorldBrailleDay! Louis Braille, a blind teacher, invented the tactile reading system used by millions of #blind people. #Braille exists in multiple languages, from Amharic to Korean. It typically appears as raised dots on paper, but you can braille almost anywhere! 1/3

Today is #WorldBrailleDay! EE#BrailleIsImportant Without #Braille it would be hard for us as blind people to read material. #BrailleIsBeautiful #BrailleRocks #ElectronicBraille #BrailleBooks use to come in several volumes.

Today is World Braille Day, which celebrates awareness of braille and is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for people who are blind or visually impaired.

Thanks to Louis Braille so many have benifited from his creation and ensuring that children and adults have access to reading and writing all over the world.

Today is #WorldBrailleDay, and I'd like to recommend reading Connor Scott-Gardner on the history and politics of Braille, and its importance to blind people:

"the adoption of Braille has been an arduous process fought for tirelessly by blind people"

It's World Braille Day: if you're curious about the history of this writing system, here are the first pages of an article I had published on "TypeCulture".

Morning Mastodoners! Today is #WorldBrailleDay, the day on which we celebrate the birth of Louis Braille and six little dots that have brought literacy and opportunity to #Blind people around the world for nearly 200 years. There's a direct line from a clever blind teenager in 1820's France developing the alphabet that now bears his name, to me, sitting in an office typing these words on a #Braille display using technology he never could've imagined.

Even when we have “all the fwncy modern technology”, #braille remains important. It’s literacy.
In languages like English, which aren’t spelled as they are written, you can’t just go in listening mode and learn how all the new words are spelled. That’s where braille kicks in. You can read, and also check your spelling with it. Now if only the prices of displays for it were the same as for any pocket size keyboard…

It is #WorldBrailleDay!

Stevie Wonder sits in the chair of Mayor Art Eggleton on Oct. 10, 1986, reading a scroll inscribed in braille that the City of Toronto presented him.
He also received a vase made by a blind artist from the CNIB.
