Intro
Welcome to the Grounded Wren Braille Translator!
This page is intended to help (primarily sighted) folks learn braille, as well as easily translate simple phrases.
It supports both grade 1 (uncontracted) and 2 (contracted) braille.
The character to braille map and the dot sequence to unicode maps this tool use are hand-typed, so there may be mistakes.
If you find any, please let me know.
Practice Word Source
I got the set of available practice words from the list used by the Dale-Chall readability formula.
I pared it down only slightly.
Fun fact: this is the same word pool I use in my Hangman player!
Other Resources
I referenced the following sources while composing this translator:
Additionally, I had I'm With Her's Wild and Clear and Blue on a loop in the background while coding, so they get a shout out 😊
