The full Braille alphabet with numbered dots. Tap a cell to see it, then translate your own text.
For learning and casual use. For official or legal documents, ask a Braille expert to check the result.
Dot view
Every Braille cell, drawn dot by dot.
Real size
Cells at about real Braille size (dot 1.5 mm, cell 6.2 mm wide). Screens vary, so use Print at 100% scale for the exact size.
Dot pad
Tap dots, then add the cell. Click the pad first to use keys: F D S = dots 1–3, J K L = dots 4–6, Space = add.
Practice
Which letter is this cell? Build a streak.
Braille art and bio
Turn a photo or logo into dotted art, or style your Braille name for a bio. This art uses 8-dot Unicode, so it is art, not real 6-dot Braille. Some apps show boxes or blanks for these characters, so test in the app first.
Daily challenge
One new word each day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak going.

About this generator
The Braille alphabet uses the six dots of a cell, numbered 1 to 3 down the left side and 4 to 6 down the right. The first ten letters, a to j, use only the top four dots. The next ten, k to t, repeat them with dot 3 added, and u, v, x, y, z add dots 3 and 6. W is the exception, because it was added later. The chart below shows every letter, number and punctuation mark, and you can tap a cell to see its dots.
