I'm Angela, a user experience and graphic designer who just so happens to be visually impaired! I was born with a rare eye condition called Aniridia. I recently finished graduate school getting my Master of Design. My research was focussed on inclusive design, universal design, accessibility. My specialty is on visual impairment and how designers can improve products and services for a wider range of people regardless of their certain circumstances. I hope you will come along on this journey with me. 💕

I'm not blind, but I want to learn braille because it probably would help in the future if me or one of my family members lost my eye sight
I think that is awesome and a great way of thinking about it. Thank you for your support to our community!
Cool! Thanks for the video! The graphics are very low vision friendly.
Same 😔
Yes same
I want to cheat on a test so i will learn this
In my oppinion Braille and sign language should be studied in elementary and highschool for everyone.
Thank you for this video!
absolutely! but i would add a caveat: 8-dot computer braille is "Just a font". Developers just need to make sure that ASCII text works; and they can ignore renders to Braille or Audio completely. Every person can learn 8-dot computer Braillle. On Orbit devices at least, it's the default (yay!). But everywhere that there is translation of any kind; the translation is always full of bugs. It's so hard to translate from plain text to braille, that the translations are always buggy. On an Orbit Reader, plain txt files downloaded from Project Gutenburg have surprisingly buggy handling of things like double-quote. txt file renditions should be 100% literal ASCII, other than rendering line breaks, tabs and spaces by default.
note that I am not suggesting Grade 1 UEB. 8-dot computer braille needs 7 dots for output at a minimum. That means making 8-dot cells standard. You get your contraction out of not making simple punctuation consume multiple cells; where UEB1 is highly disrespectful of punctuation. The 8th dot would be useful for input, for keys that never show as output, like arrow keys, enter, etc. You sometimes want a completely binary mode to read non-text files, or to just be able to see Tab characters and line breaks literally. Sometimes you need to know that a line break is a
instead of just a
.
The other major reason for standardizing on 8-dot computer braille for everything, is something that nobody likes to talk about: The dignity of having a job that you are good at. Manuals for Braille Displays are absolutely crazy. But if most people using Braille can operate a computer, then why not just make THE interface to a Braille Display, just a bash shell. All these devices run something like Embedded Linux as a Raspberry Pi anyway. Given that, when you turn it on, you should see a login banner that lets you know that you are in a bash shell. Your txt files are sitting in a directory called "txt". You can open and edit these files with vim; a standard text editor optimized for keyboard-only mouseless use. And if you see a brf file, then open the file using a brf file reader; editor. Your UEB2 should be confined to being inside of actual Braille apps.
And then something interestnig happens here: sighted people can learn full contracted braille in sighted fonts. Type this:
,hello1 _w6
And it renders to contracted Braille to somebody that uses that as their main language.
I didn’t want to learn braille when they gave me the option as I was losing my vision but later in the future I begin taking courses from hadley end it has
approved my braille literacy a lot.
Thank you for sharing. Yeah I have heard Hadley can be very helpful. I have had a lot of people tell me it is a lot easier to learn Braille visually before loosing all your sight and having to rely on touch only but it can be done. Thanks for watching.
i want to learn braille just in case i ever need it, also shes so sweet while explaining this which motivates me to learn this and not give up :)
Thank you so much. I am glad you liked the video.
Hey everyone I hope this video is helpful to you! How many of you are working on learning Braille or know someone who is? Make sure to also check out my other Braille videos. You can find them all in a playlist!
Hello ...
Am in 2/10 phase of sight so far ... last time i saw a list of the equipment you are using and some other highlights i couldnt find it now ... is it gone ?
@@ghassanbarchini1612 you can find in the description box of any of my videos. If there is something you are specifically looking for and you can't find it and I can send it your way.
I'm an IT professional who had previously had -8 dioptre lens glasses and then I had a LASIK and after some years again got the -4 dioptre glasses. The doctor said I might face some problems in future regarding my future. So, learning it in advance and your videos are helping me out. Thanks for creating a video!
You are welcome! I am glad it is helpful!
Thank you for your video. I am not blind but I really want to learn Braille and also sign language because I want to be able to communicate with many people without problems and misunderstandings. I already speak 5 languages fluently and have taught myself how to read Korean and Arabic and I want to study architecture like you have mentioned, so it would be really useful.
That is awesome, you can do it! Such great skills to have on hand!
@@VIDesigner Thank you for answering! I wish you a happy new year and stay healthy.
Lots of people are preparing for the future i just want to learn braille so i can read without getting caught during class
lol. That is great. So many uses! Braille for the win!
I am not visually impaired, but I have a disability that affects my tracking and ability to read for long periods of time. It causes a great deal of pain. I use audio formats and text to speech apps. I've just started learning braille as an alternative to the visual, so thank you for your resources.
I think that is a great idea to use Braille even though you are not visually impaired. I hope your learning goes well! I also really think audio formats are very helpful. thanks for sharing.
That's smart! I hope it works out!
@@VIDesigner Cool. I'm in a similar position with my vision. Just thought I would ask what are the best text to speech apps that are best for audio reading articles on the internet as well as reading Bible apps which don't have the text to speech software included..if you know of any that is recommended.
It somehow never dawned to me as a seeing person exactly how relevant/important braille is to so many people. Thank you for educating with such a welcoming and positive attitude!
You are welcome, I am glad It was helpful to you!
She teaches effectively. She makes it more easier.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Last year my cousin went completly blind and so before he comes back from his trip I want to learn braille even thought i'm not blind, just for him.
I am learning Braille and I love your video! I am currently taking a braille class through Hadley Institute for the Blind and Visually Impaired. I first started learning Braille at my blind school when I was in 12th grade and I grew to love it very much! I practice Braille everyday so I can keep getting better. I am learning Braille because I want to become a braille educator for blind and visually impaired young children and in case glaucoma limits my sight to where I will have to use braille more frequently.
That is so awesome. Thanks for sharing your story. It is interesting to hear about others experiences with Braille.
Wow. I liked your comment. I am sure that you will be a really great teacher! As there are a lot of ways to practice your braille everyday such and Braille notetakers, paperless analog braille slates out there, I think that you would get a better environment to teach your students in the near future! I hope you keeping trying to get your dream come true, and have a wonderful day!
i just love communication and the incentiveness of humanity, that'sy reason for wanting to learn braille
I am blind and my left eye and I am going blind in my right eye can barely see so I am trying to pick up all the hints and tricks in any information I can learn while I can still see a little bit thank you for posting
That is smart to get started now. It will really help you in the long run! Thanks for your support!
Much respect for these braille lessons. Definitely recommending them!
Thannks so much for sharing I really appreciate it!
Thank you! As a future TVI this was very helpful!
I am Blind and this is broken down really well Great video!
i just love all your videos, great topics, very straigforward aproach, keep going!
Thank you very much! I am glad you like them.
I am learning braille to figure out the lift and emergency signs in my office. I love learning and this feels nice. Also, I have strabismus so, my one eye works .. it's a beautifully interesting life 🙏
That is awesome! Keep it up, you got this!
thank you SO Much for reading the number dots for all the alfabeto! many video do not do this even if it is braille
I want to learn braille simply because I think it's cool to be able to read by running your fingers over a bunch of bumps.
Thank you for the informative video Ma'am. Looking forward in learning a new skill.
Your welcome. Glad it was helpful.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this helpful video! 💕
Glad it was helpful!
I want to learn so I can teach my friend who is blind. And hard of hearing. Thanks for your video Helped convince me how useful it can be
That's great! I am so glad it was helpful! It really can be such a powerful tool once you have learned it.
I learned braille during my oh and M training about a year and a half ago. At that time I really struggled with feeling the braille due to neuropathy of the hands. The only way I could read braille was if it was in jumbo format. As of late I have discovered the orbit reader. With that being said, the crispness of the braille makes it so much easier for my hands to feel. Long story short, as I was looking for a grade to braille resources I stumbled upon this video. What a great explanation! You did such a great job of explaining grade one. I will definitely share this video with cited friends and family. I will also share this video with people who are on the fence about learning braille. I am searching for other videos you have made now. Once again, great job!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I am glad you found this video helpful and that you are finding a way to make it easier for you to read the dots, can be quite tricky.
Watching this as an ophthalmologist to be able to help my patients and connect with them.
Thanks
Explained nicely
Try to learn so that I can help special students who are not gifted with vision
I am not blind but I want to learn braille to write my own diary and no-one in my family or friends reads that, as I am BilInguage person Port. and Eng, but I won't write in none of them because there are always a curious one ask and try to read that. I am so happy that is easy to learn. thanks so much for teaching...
You are welcome. I am glad it is helpful and I think it is cool you are finding a unique way to use the skill. :)
Thank you. I am actually a teacher and I want to help blind student as well, of course.
You are a brilliant teacher!
Thank you! 🙏
This is amazing and I am learning because I believe it’s an amazing skill to have, I’m already learning sign language as you can meet people with dual diagnosis of being visually impaired/ blind and deaf. I am partially deaf myself and I’m a support worker to a deaf and blind client and learning for those reasons too.
That is great to hear! I would love to learn the basics of sign language myself in the next little bit. It will be a very helpful skill to have. Thank you for your support!
God Bless You Sister
I want to write braille because I want to help someone needed thank you!
You are welcome! That is a great reason to learn!
Very good information for public
When I was a little kid, i had the Pokemon Emerald paperback guide. For the regie part of the book, I remember being confused because the regies spoke using patterns in compact little boxes, using numbers 1 through 6. Being the giant geek i was, i learned to visually read this pattern language without needing the guide. When I became older, I realized that I learned to visually (not tactically) read braille, because of frickin pokemon.
I forgot how to visually read braille over the years, but I've decided to relearn it, and actually LEARN what braille is and how it works this time :)
That is an excellent story! I love it! Thanks for sharing! Best wishes with relearning Braille!
Hi, Miss I m very happy to see your efforts and highly appreciate your work its is very informative
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment. I have some videos in my line up I am really excited for.
Thank you for this educational video. I was always intrigued about how the patterns were since I watched the Little House on the Prairie (where Mary Ingalls taught Braille). Back then, the internet was yet to be born. Something awoke my curiosity again these days, and I found your video.
You are so welcome! I am glad to hear you are taking the time to learn about it!
very interesting. thank you.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for making this video!!! I’m currently losing my sight and this is really helping
You're so welcome! I am glad I can help even just a little bit.
this is so cool. I have subscribed to your channel to learn more and how to learn braille as a beginner. I have double vision and find it very hard now to read things clearly....and also i use my pc alot for word processing, even though I can still read, I'm concerned that one day I will lose my sight completely....so I want to learn it now while i can, plus also for my own pure interest.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I think that is a great reason to learn.
Thank you this is going to be very useful for my thesis
Your welcome. What are you doing your thesis on? I would be interested to know. I recently finished mine and will be sharing more content here about it. Feel free to subscribe so you know when I have post more!
Hello dear, I am beginner learner of braille. Your Videos are so helpful for me. I want to learn Braille. Its my passion. Thank you for your services.
You are welcome, I am glad it was helpful.
I'm visually impaired and also a designer. Looking to incorporate some braille into my designs as it's part of my branding. Accessible marketing and advertising for everyone, sighted and non sighted and everything in-between.
Excellent! Well done!
Many thanks!
Hi. Great video.
One thing left for you to do. Remove the ads on the end because they are covering your punctuation examples.
I'm guessing that you can't see the ads and TH-cam just puts them there automatically.
I still don't know how to make a question mark or a open quotation mark.
You should do more Braille videos they are very helpful and fun to learn!
I have more coming very soon!
@@VIDesigner Yay!
I know this may sound stupid, because I am not visually impaired, but I imagine that reading a book using braille while eyes closed and sitting in the dark, may help to visualise the story better in my mind, because I am not distracted with the visual stimuli.
Hi there I am a Braille teacher and I really enjoyed this video. Do you plan on making more videos on learning Braille?
Thank you, Mayra. Yes, I am currently working some grade 2 Braille videos. Including whole words, dot 5 and 6 words. I would love to hear any other suggestions you have for Braille videos from your perspective and what you think would be the most helpful format in future videos if you don’t mind sharing! Thanks again for reaching out!
@@VIDesigner oh so great to hear this ...with us now working from home... and teaching on zoom and teams these videos will be great and very helpful! I will be telling my students to check your video out for more help. Just really explaining what's going on in the video for our totally blind views would be very helpful! This one is amazing I really enjoyed it and I know my students will to.
@@VIDesigner also maybe some Independent Living Skills lessons? Like maybe how to fold money, how to identify coins, how to label items at home? Just ideas 🤗
@@mayragonzalez3655 sir ..I want to learn it..can I learn this???
Nice video ALLAH bless you dear ❤
Do you have any videos that can help a visually impair blind person learn grade 2 braille. He already knows Grade no 1. what kind of equipment or visually equipment that can you be able to type braille using a computer and a speech to text reader for the computer?
Your videos are brilliant, I’m learning as I work with young people who are visually impaired. I’m looking for help on dashes in the middle of two words and watched your videos.
Awesome, thank you!
I’m not visually impaired, but want to learn it because I’m into learning things like different languages. Currently learning through an app. I live in the UK and been trying to look on for kids braille books (with written words) to begin practicing with, but can’t find anything. It’s quite easy to find resources for sign language, but finding resources for braille seems really hard
Thank you.
Love the video! I'm learning braille out of curiosity and utilize it where I can. I think you got mixed up explaining the W. The W is a J with a dot 6 added and it's not a vertical flipped R. The W is either a mirrored R or horizontally flipped R. If you flip the R vertical it stays a R. I think. I'm just thinking outloud in my head with my thumbs. Just want to help anyway I can
What's the @ symbol in braille?
I want to learn braille so that I could help my mom with her school work she’s a blind teacher
That is great! I am glad the video is helpful
I am not blind my glasses power getting fastly and it is fun to learn Braille for me and it can help me in the future and can any answer this please most of the person who are blind they use first grade Braille or second grade Braille
Hi . I would Luke to be a visually impaired designer as well. Can you assist me in this Avenue of studies?
Thank you
I am not visually impaired and have never interacted with a blind person directly.
I want to learn braille because I am bored, seems like a cool thing to learn.
Who knows, could come in useful some day.
I clicked on the link for the wooden cell, but it didn't work.
Thanks for letting me know! I have fixed the link.
I want to learn this so that I can understand how a blind person lives so that if anyone i know or I meet a blind person I can be just like them so they don’t feel left out because of blindness or any kind of visual disability.
Where do I find the link to the wooden Braille cell with cutouts you sell? I must be missing it in the description somewhere?
I am sorry to say they are no longer available. I will make sure that is clear in the video description moving forward.
I think home addresses or a doorbell should have the address on it in braille. My grandmother had gone to a wrong house many time by mistake in a subdivision that has all the houses rhe same almost
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
I'm dyslexic and never learn how to sound out letter was not taught phonics and that's caused a multitude of problems I'm aware that the blind can be dyslexic aswell, still my thoughts are if I could do it it would add a whole nother level to my learning capabilities, as I can not rely on my eye's to feed me the correct information, hearing possibly also but this maybe due to a Poor and inappropriate education next two no English and grammar lessons at all starting from scratch in a entirely new way like Braille may be beneficial for me falling right in my educational needs and hands on approach to learning. The interpretation of Sounds and grammar maybe my biggest problem and unlike most dyslexics I do not have a minds eye so making mental memory a connection between what I see and what I hear is extremely difficult possibly impossible I need to get all 3 senses involved
Site touch and hearing in order to spell, I read by memory of what an entire word looks like not sounds like .
If you can understand this is how see and think a A b B c C d D and so on. Capitals and people have names the small letters we read and write are the sound, never been able to get the sounds quite right in my mind ear somehow I say words correctly that I can't spell. I hope this information helps someone and they understand it.
Hi,
I am currently trying to sign up for Braille classes. I’m currently taking Child Development. I am specializing my area for Exceptional Children. Any suggestions on Materials would be greatly appreciated
Yay! I think it is great you want to learn Braille. I am not sure I have specific types of resources to refer to you. Are you looking specifically for materials to help with your learning Braille?
UEBOnline have a free course you can sign up for.
Thank you the video is great. Can you give me the link to your website, i am interested in the wooden board for teaching.
I unfortunately don't have access to make the wooden boards anymore. I might in the near future though. Glad the video was helpful!
I want to learn to write letters to heaven to my grandmother
Next video next video making please and word sentence all videos how to writing really lipi word
I am interested in learning Braille (my own eyesight is progressively declining) and at the start of the journey. I would be interested in purchasing the wooden Braille cell, but can't find it on the website link. Is it no longer available?
It is great you want to learn Braille. Best wishes with that. The wooden board is not currently available. I will keep you updated in videos I am hoping to make it available here again soon.
My mom is losing her vision, and I want to learn with her, in solidarity.
That is sweet. I am sure your mom will appreciate that a lot.
I'm not blind yet but I have dyslexia. I'm hoping that learning Braille will help me read books. I do audio books and write audio to text. I use apps to help me. I want to incorporate the braille into QR code artwork to place in caves/ mountains where my Native American ancestors lived.
That is super cool you want to do QR code artwork. How fun!
Wow I never understood how Braille works until now that’s such a clever system. Also how do you respond and read comments is it some kind of text to speech system?
I still have vision and can see things so I read and respond to comments like anyone else would. I just use my zoom features and aids to help when needed. Some people who are blind will use screen readers to help them. You can watch more of my videos if you want to learn more!
Hi in school I use a slant board and Magnifineglass and also I have covering the lights cause there so bright I am so lucky that I am not blind
Thanks for sharing! I too have sensitivity to light.
I want to learn braille teaching because my son is a blind..I want to avail a braille books for beginners teaching.thank you.
I am sure it will be super helpful to you and your son if you learn Braille! Best of luck.
Hey I was just curious you said that number three was three four five six one three. Isn't number three the number side plus c. Cuz I believe c is one and four and d is 145. E is one and five f is 124 g is 1 four five h is 125 I is 2 4 and j is 2 4 5. I'm not sure if you're wrong or my code reader book is wrong. Was just asking I go through the Iowa department for the blind and your bump that aren't the same as what I'm learning. At a public comment
It is totally possible I misspoke or had an error in my video. Thanks for bring it up. I will double check my video so I can make note of it.
I'm going blind so just think it's good to prepare
Why don’t they just put the dots in the shape of the letters
Letters are visual characters and can be complicated. By using a six dot formation it makes it easier and more consistent. It is easier to feel tactically when it is systematic. Some people can read letters that are tactile like on building room signs so it just depends on the person.
I want to learn braille, but I'm having so much trouble to be honest. I found this great video series with this guy who created these elaborate images and memory aides, but alas his videos are about 10 years old, and so many of the rules for grade 2 braille have changed. Do you have any suggestions for memory aides? Like he creates these stories that help you visualize a sign that lines up with the letter, for example "detour" for D, so you can imagine a detour sign with an arrow pointing in the same way the "D" braille dots are raised.
It helped me memorize the alphabet and the letters, but many of the Grade 2 rules have changed since he made these videos, so many of the aides for Grade 2 don't work. :-( Do you have any suggestions?
Either way, thanks for the videos! They're very helpful!
Oh I wish I had this too! That would be great to help me keep up with it all! Maybe we will have to create them ourselves! There are so many to remember.
@@VIDesigner I know, right? Yeah, I've been making up some of my own, but it's not always effective. But thanks for keeping me up to date! I'll sub and keep an eye on your channel!
Please avoid mistakes specially in Braille videos..you said- I is 2 and 5 (12:42) which can be confusing for person with blindness.
Great
Thank you!
good
Thanks
Not blind but I’m learning so I can write Braille in class for cheat sheet
❤❤❤
Thank you!
You left out "and for of the with." And the following row.
Those are part of Grade 2 Braille and this video was focussed just on Grade 1 Braille. I have other videos that include those.
I just want to know Braille
GOOD
Thank you!
I could now cheat exam without having to see the cheat note
Me after finishing this: let's cheat all the test bois
lol niiiiice
How can you read people's hand to cheat?

I just want to learn Braille
Mimichu yes you can learn Braille! You got this. I have a whole playlist of Braille videos if you are interested. th-cam.com/play/PLkFop9gPNmKFD8vTbqB5IJQFbsPO4c5D3.html
Hello miss, c is dots 1 and 4 not 1 and 3. Also, d is dots 1 4 and 5 not 1 3 and 4 you have made some errors.
I want to learn it only to feel iam unique. And want to creat something out of it.
cool that you want to learn Braille. It is a unique skill and can be used in lots of ways.
@@VIDesigner thank you dear
same here :)
Im not blind but want to learn to help my family
Love this! Such a good reason to learn!
I am not blind but I want to learn it
Love it! I think that is great! It is fun to learn but also can become very handy and help you better understand those who use Braille!
◾In the future.....
◾That's what Im thinking about:😞😞😞
🤔 Plz forgive my stupidity thus honesty… Is there a benefit for a person with sight to learn braille ?
Well you have an advantage like
Your in a test and you can cheat with out the teacher ever notcing it
Blind people cant feel this
