Braille Converter — Convert Text to Braille Unicode and Back

The Braille Converter translates plain text into Braille unicode characters and converts Braille patterns back to readable text. It supports English, Portuguese, and Spanish alphabets, producing the correct dot patterns for each character including numbers, punctuation, and accented letters.

The converter maps each letter to its corresponding six-dot Braille cell using the Unicode Braille Patterns block (U+2800–U+28FF). It handles Grade 1 Braille transliteration, where each print character maps to a single Braille cell. The tool displays both the Braille unicode output and a visual dot-pattern diagram showing which dots are raised in each cell.

Developers use it to test accessibility features and Braille display compatibility. Students learning Braille can practice reading and writing by converting text back and forth.

Braille Converter is part of the facilita.tools suite of free browser-based accessibility utilities. Available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, optimized for desktop and mobile browsers.
