Braille Alphabet: Learn UEB

Learn to read and write braille from the very first dot. Braille Alphabet teaches the braille cell, letters, numbers, punctuation and UEB grade 2 contractions — Unified English Braille, the code used in most English-speaking countries. Think of it as a braille tutor in your pocket. For sighted beginners, parents and teachers of blind children, braille transcribers and anyone who wants to read the dots on lift buttons and door signs. Works offline, and every lesson is free. HOW A LESSON WORKS • Each new sign starts with an introduction card: a big cell with numbered dots. Hear it spoken or feel it as vibration • Then you read the sign, then write it yourself by tapping dots in a 2x3 cell • A question you miss comes back at the end of the level A MISTAKE EXPLAINS ITSELF Most braille apps tell you that you were wrong. This one tells you why. After every mistake you get a rule card: what the rule is called, why the answer is what it is, and examples. One tap adds the sign to your review deck. PRACTICE THAT STICKS • Spaced repetition (Leitner boxes): what you keep getting wrong comes back sooner • Mixed review of everything you have learned, twelve cards by default, about a minute and a half • Dictation: hear a sign and write it without seeing it • Chapter challenges: clear the chapter with fewer than three mistakes • Read by touch: the cell is hidden, you feel it through vibration and choose the sign • My mistakes: the signs you miss most, ready to practise WHAT YOU LEARN • The braille cell and all six dot positions • The alphabet, built by decades: learn ten shapes and get twenty-six letters • Numbers, the number sign, the capital sign and punctuation • UEB grade 2: alphabetic wordsigns, strong contractions, groupsigns, lower signs, initial-letter and final-letter contractions, shortforms MORE THAN ENGLISH • Ukrainian and Russian braille as separate codes, with whole-word practice on words you meet on real signs: exit, lift, floor, pharmacy • National braille for many more languages, from German, Spanish and French to Hebrew, Japanese kana, Korean, Hindi and Arabic: letters in every code, numbers and punctuation in many (20+ braille codes in all) • The braille code is chosen separately from the interface language SIGN DECODER In front of a lift button or a door plate? Tap the dots you feel or see in the grid and the app shows the sign. Save it with a note and find it later in history. No camera, no connection needed. WRITING PRACTICE Type any word and see it in braille letter by letter, with capital and number signs placed for you. Printable sheets for parents and teachers. BRAILLE CHART Every sign in the code you are learning, searchable, with its rule one tap away. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SEE THE SCREEN • Every sign can be spoken aloud in the language of its code • Feel a cell through vibration: six pulses, long for a raised dot, short for an empty one • Works with TalkBack; for screen reader users full-screen ads are switched off entirely MADE TO BE READABLE • Light, dark, high contrast and low light themes • Adjustable text size, cell size up to two and a half times larger • No artificial delays: when you are ready for the next card, it is already there TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Streak calendar, accuracy, and the signs you miss most, one tap to practise them again. Set a daily goal and a daily reminder at a time you choose. Built-in help explains every part of the app. AVAILABLE IN 20+ LANGUAGES FREE, WITH ADS There is no paid version; ads keep the app free.
