About Braille Translator

A fast, privacy-first learning workbench for converting literary English and Unified English Braille (UEB) line by line.

Who it is for

Braille Translator is designed for braille learners, parents, teachers, and sighted helpers who need to check short passages side by side with dot patterns, Unicode braille, and 6-dot NABCC ASCII.

Translation engine (liblouis 3.39.0)

Conversions use unmodified liblouis 3.39.0 tables (en-ueb-g1.ctb, en-ueb-g2.ctb, and text_nabcc.dis) compiled to WebAssembly under LGPL-2.1+. See source notes for build details.

Scope & known limits

Each run accepts up to 5,000 Unicode code points without silent truncation. A round-trip match does not guarantee braille correctness. This tool is for learning and self-checking only — not for publishing, exams, legal, pharmaceutical, signage, or certified/production embossing.
