BRAILLE ALPHABET and BRAILLE CODE

Braille code is a writing system which enables blind and partially sighted people to read and write through touch.  The Braille alphabet was invented by Louis Braille (1809-1852), a French teacher of the blind.  It consists of patterns of raised dots arranged in cells of up to six dots in a 3 x 2 configuration.  Each cell represents a Braille letter, numeral or punctuation mark.  Some frequently used words and letter combinations also have their own single cell patterns.

There are a number of different versions of Braille code:

Grade 1: consists of the 26 standard letters of the alphabet and punctuation.  It is only used by people who just started reading Braille. 

Grade 2: consists of the 26 standard letters of the alphabet, punctuation and contractions.  The contractions are employed to save space because a Braille page cannot fit as much text as a standard printed page.  Books, signs in public places, menus, and most other Braille materials are written in Grade 2 Braille. 

Grade 3: is used only in personal letters, diaries, and notes.  It is a kind of shorthand, with entire words shortened to a few letters. 

BRAILLE ALPHABET

Braille  is a tactile writing system used by the blind and the visually impaired , and found in books, on menus, signs, elevator buttons, and currency. Braille-users can read computer screens and other electronic supports thanks to refreshable braille display.They can write braille with a slate and stylus or type it on a braille writer, such as a portable braille note-taker, or on a computer that prints with a braille embosser.

Braille is named after its creator, Frenchman Louis Braille, who went blind following a childhood accident. At the age of 15, Braille developed his code for the French alphabet in 1824 as an improvement on night writing. He published his system, which subsequently included musical notation, in 1829. The second revision, published in 1837, was the first digital (binary) form of writing.

the release of a new computer program called “OKU” (read) design expressly for the use of visually handicapped people who speak Turkish. The OKU program is expected to provide them with further opportunities to use computers for research and course work. 

OKU is able to read aloud a given text in clear Turkish. Visually handicapped people can listen to all written documents- such as books, papers, journals- that are stored in the “txt” or “rtf” formats.
