Louis Braille went to the Nation Institute for the Blind in Paris. They taught children to read by feeling raised letters. The institute had a limited amount of books on this system of writing and Braille read them all. However, he had no way of writing and would later create a system composed of six raised dots to allow him to communicate better.

In 1821, Louis Braille was inspired by former French Army captain, Charles Barbier de la Serre. Serre visited Braille's school to show his invention of sonography, which was a form of night writing. This invention was based off a series of 12 raised dots and numbers, which allowed top-secret information to be transferred between soldiers on the battlefield, without talking.

Braille was also inspired by a six sided dice and used a stitching awl and created a system composed of a similar method of raised dots. His method of language was a six dot system.
