A system of printing or writing for the blind in which the characters and numerals are represented by patterns of raised tangible points or dots. It was invented by Louis Braille, a French teacher of the blind. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] braille \braille\ v. 1. to transcribe in Braille. [WordNet 1.5] 22 Moby Thesaurus words for "Braille": Boston type, New York point, Optacon, Pathsounder, Seeing Eye dog, Visotoner, cane, embosser, guide dog, high-speed embosser, line letter, noctograph, optophone, personal sonar, sensory aid, sight-saver type, string alphabet, talking book, ultrasonic spectacles, visagraph, writing frame, writing stamps {writing systems}, intended for use by blind and low-vision users, which express {glyphs} as raised dots. Currently employed braille standards use eight dots per cell, where a cell is a glyph-space two dots across by four dots high; most glyphs use only the top six dots. Braille was developed by Louis Braille (pronounced /looy bray/) in France in the 1820s. Braille systems for most languages can be fairly trivially converted to and from the usual script. Braille has several totally coincidental parallels with digital computing: it is {binary}, it is based on groups of eight bits/dots and its development began in the 1820s, at the same time {Charles Babbage} proposed the {Difference Engine}. Computers output Braille on {braille displays} and {braille printers} for hard copy. {British Royal National Institute for the Blind (http://rnib.org.uk/wesupply/fctsheet/braille.htm)}. (1998-10-19)
