Please explain the advantages of this over reading Braille dots (which lots of sighted people can do already), and please explain the lack of reports by sighted people saying "hey, I noticed that reading in Braille is faster and easier than with the regular alphabet."
- trogdoro 15y agoLook at some text in braille and look at some text in dotsies. It looks pretty different. Dotsies letters are smashed together so the words look like shapes of their own. If you did that with braille it would likely be confusing due to each letter having 2 rows of dots, and it would be stretched out to about the same proportion as normal text.
- yaakov34 15y agoNow you're aiming for the laurels of hieroglyphic writing, which has kind of lost almost every battle it fought with alphabets and syllabaries for the last couple of thousand years. It's not even convincing that this will be a good hieroglyphic system, let alone better than the alphabet.
