I found this mapping between Braille symbols and the alphabet[0], but how does the buttons in the Braille keyboard map to these symbols? Trying to understand as it could be cool to type without having to look at the screen.
- mkl 5y agoBraille characters are formed by six dots/bumps in a 2×3 grid. On a Braille keyboard, each of the six main keys correspond to one dot, and for each character you press the keys for the dots you want simultaneously, then lift up and repeat. There's also a space key. My grandmother used to volunteer transcribing things into Braille, and she taught me how to use the machine as a kid.
