Frequently asked questions
What Braille standard is used?
Grade 1 (uncontracted) English Braille, mapping each letter to its standard six-dot Unicode Braille pattern.
Is the Braille Generator free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.
Why only 4 formats?
Braille doesn't have stylistic variants like fonts do — the 4 cards cover genuinely useful variations: plain letters, capitalization indicators, numeric mode, and mirrored order for physical embossing.
What is the mirrored format for?
When embossing Braille by hand on the reverse side of paper, the dot pattern needs to be mirrored so it reads correctly from the front — this format helps with that use case.
Is this Grade 2 (contracted) Braille?
No, this tool produces Grade 1 (uncontracted) Braille, which spells out every letter rather than using contractions.
