Cool idea, but who benefits from the alignment? Why not just place to dots as usual and then paint the text over everything in whatever font you want? Seems like it would be less distracting to the sighted with no downside at all to the blind.
- ipsum2 9y agoI'm not sure what it was created for, but it seems like a neat way to learn Braille for people with sight. Close your eyes, feel the dots, and look to see if you got it right.
- Double_a_92 9y agoAcutally it's not. The braille dots just happen to randomly lie somewhere on the lines of the letters. It's silimar to this thing that is supposed to teach the numbers: https://imgur.com/m6HOhfJ https://imgur.com/m6HOhfJ It's so constructed (useless lines and serifs where more corners where needed) that you can't really learn anything from it.
- Brendinooo 9y agoI'm a very visual learner; if I spent enough time looking at these letters I'd probably start to remember where the dots are on each letter. Not sure how well that'd translate to recall when touching the letters with my eyes closed though.
