When were Braille computers invented?

Answer 1

The Braille system for the blind was invented on January 1, 2, or 3 of the year 1825 by Louis Braille (January 4, 1809 - January 6, 1852.). At the age of 3 Braille had an accident which sadly made him blind. But, he was eager to learn and even more eager to read. So, he went to Paris and attended the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in 1819. There the only method they used to read was the raised-print method. This method worked by making letters and numbers kinda pop-out of the pages. This method didn't work because some letters were difficult to tell apart. For example, the Q's felt like O's, the O's felt like C's, the I's turned out to be T's, and the R's were really B's. The in the spring of 1821, a man by the name of Captain. Charles Barbier visited the institute with a new method. This method, that he called night writing, was being used by the army to write simple notes in the dark. The notes usually consisted of 1 or 2 words, for example, "advance" or "enemy behind". This method used raised dots and sounds. Each word was broken up into sounds. Each sound was given a different dot pattern. Then each dot was punched onto sheet metal with an instrument called stylus. The stylus is an instrument similar to an awl. Ironically, an awl was the instrument that made Luis blind. This method was a great improvement from the previous method. It used dots and dots were easily felt and many fit under one finger, but it still had some glitches. For example, it couldn't write numbers, periods, commas, exclamation points, or capital letters. It also took to much space. But most of all, it was hard to learn and feel. The dots that this method used got Luis thinking. Finally, after years of trail and error, he finally achieved success. At the age of 15, Luis invented a six-dot pattern that he called a cell. He then numbered each of the dots from 1-6. Finally, all that was left was to make a specific pattern for each letter in the alphabet. When he finished, he tested it. It worked! And, it was really simple. He showed it to his classmates and they agreed, it was simple. All that was left is to let the world know of this new method, it will not be easy. Adults also trying to create methods, were jealous of Luis Braille, and young child's success. So, no matter what he did nobody approved, even Captain Barbier himself. Although people were trying to help the blind, they were arrogant. They thought the blind didn't need books or numbers but that the night writing method was fine. After graduation, at the age of 19 , Luis even became a teacher at the institute. The year 1844, when the institute moved, was the first time that Louis's alphabet was truly appreciated. The director of the institute, Dr. Dufau, knew that at the grand opening there were going to be an lot of famous people. The audience included teachers, scientists, and government officials. It was the perfect time to show the people Luis's alphabet. Luis and the director decided to read a passage of a book, while and blind girl wrote it and later read it. She said exactly what the director had said, and still the audience claimed it was a trick. But, Luis had a plan B, he grabbed to blind children that went to the institute and made a random person from the audience choose any book and dictate any passage to one of the children, while the other stood in a place were he couldn't hear what the stranger was saying. When the first child finished writing what the stranger had dictated, the other was called onto the stage and ordered to read what was written. Incredibly, he said exactly what the stranger had dictated. the crowed was astonished. The next day, everyone talked about the braille method.

Braille had finally expanded.
