What the Convert Text to Braille Tool can do:

This tool converts each character in your input into a matching Braille symbol. By default, it uses Unicode Braille for visual accuracy, but it also supports a binary-style fallback if you disable Unicode. Additionally, you can choose to retain spacing or flag uppercase letters depending on your needs. File import is supported for common plain-text formats like .txt, .json, and .csv. Because everything runs directly in your browser, there’s no delay and no risk of data exposure.

Example:

Input:

Hello

With Unicode, space preservation, and capital markers enabled:

⠠⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕

With Unicode and space preservation off:

⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕

With Unicode disabled (ASCII-style fallback):

^1001001101001101001101111

Common Use Cases:

This tool works well for accessibility development, classroom demonstrations, or encoding experiments. For instance, teachers can use it to introduce Braille to students, while developers might test how text translates for assistive technologies. Thanks to the real-time feedback and flexible formatting, it’s easy to adapt the output for different needs or learning goals.
