Braille Game Trainer
This is a concept in early development. Before building, we want to hear from people with direct experience of learning braille or supporting someone who has. Your experience, however partial or incomplete, is exactly what shapes the right product.
What we would love to know
There are no right or wrong answers. A sentence is enough. If you want to write more, please do.
Have you learned braille, or supported someone who has? If so we would love to know what helped and what got in the way. Any experience is useful, however small.
Do you support or work alongside someone who uses braille, or are you a family member of someone who does? If so, did you learn any braille yourself, and what was that experience like?
Would a bonus video game mode be useful to you or anyone you know? See the note below for more detail.

At Sight Village Leeds I heard from people without any visual impairment who had learned braille to support colleagues, clients, or family members, and who described how difficult that process had been. Because the Raspberry Pi at the heart of this device already has a video output, a television-based game mode could be added to the same low-cost hardware at no extra cost.
Something like a modified Tetris could gamify learning braille typing, visual braille character recognition, and even tactile recognition. If this sounds useful to you or someone you know, please say so when you get in touch.
