How it works
Three steps from paper to voice.
1 · Align
Hold the Braille page flat inside the alignment box. Toggle Ready to Scan when it looks crisp.
2 · Decode
We preprocess the frame and send it to a vision model that segments cells and maps them to Grade 1 Braille.
3 · Hear
The decoded English appears in high contrast and is read aloud automatically. Replay at any speed.

Reference
Grade 1 Braille alphabet
Each cell is a 2×3 grid of dots. Use this as a sanity check while scanning — what you see should match what BrailleVision reads back.

Testimonials
Trusted by educators, libraries, and accessibility leaders.
BrailleVision is the first tool I've handed to a sighted parent and watched them instantly understand their child's homework. It removes a real barrier.
Dr. Amelia Carter
Director, Center for Visual Accessibility
We replaced a $4k desktop Braille reader with a phone and BrailleVision. The decode quality is genuinely surprising.
Marcus Hale
Accessibility Lead, NorthArc Libraries
Finally, an assistive tool that wasn't designed as an afterthought. The voice greeting, the contrast, the giant buttons — it feels respectful.
