Happy World Braille Day!!
Braille is a tactile reading and writing code that allows blind people to read using their fingertips through a system of six raised dots. It was invented in 1824 by Louis Braille, a French teenager born on January 4, 1809. Today, Braille is used around the world in many different languages.
Each year, we work to place Braille in the hands of more people who are blind. January 4 is recognized as World Braille Day, honoring Louis Braille and his lasting contribution. Every day, thousands of blind people rely on Braille for countless purposes—from grocery lists and canned-food labels to novels, math and science equations, and musical notation. The growing presence of Braille signage also makes it easier to navigate hotels, office buildings, government facilities, university campuses, and other public spaces. As flexible as print, Braille can be learned in a similar amount of time and read just as smoothly.
