" Braille is a tactile writing system invented by Louis Braille in 1829 to help visually impaired people read and write. Braille is traditionally written on paper which has a system of raised markings, called embossed paper.
There are now computer screens and other electronic supports for Braille users. Visually impaired people can now type on a keyboard using special braille lines, or use a screen reader which reads out what is written on the computer screen. This technology is part of auditory e-learning resources designed for visually impaired people so that they can stay updated and connected with others, and live independent lives."
