Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you translate, upload or upgrade.
Is Braille.tools free to use?
Yes. Text-to-braille and braille-to-text translation is free without sign-up. Paid plans add higher limits and professional workflows for images, documents, teams and API access; current prices and limits are published on the Pricing page.
Does Braille.tools support Grade 1 and Grade 2 braille?
Yes. Braille.tools supports English Unified English Braille in Grade 1 and contracted Grade 2 for both text-to-braille and braille-to-text workflows.
Can Braille.tools translate braille from a photo?
Yes. The image reader detects braille cells in photographs and scanned images, then translates the detected braille. Image angle, lighting, contrast and dot visibility affect recognition, so detected cells remain editable for review.
Can it convert PDF or DOCX files into braille?
Braille.tools can extract text from supported PDF and DOCX files, restore document structure where possible, translate the content and generate reviewable output. Complex layouts and scanned pages may require correction before publication.
Is the output ready for professional publication?
Braille.tools provides automated translation, back-translation and verification information. Professional publication, signage, legal, medical and safety-critical output should still be reviewed by a qualified braille transcriber or accessibility specialist.
How does Braille.tools handle uploaded content?
Uploads are sent over HTTPS and processed for the requested conversion. Data handling, retention and third-party processing details are documented on the Privacy and Security pages.
How is Braille.tools different from a basic braille translator?
A basic translator usually converts pasted text. Braille.tools combines bidirectional UEB translation with image reading, document processing, correction reports, homework checking, sign verification and API workflows in one toolkit.
