Six Right! Louis Braille and Embossed Printing
In 1825 the young Frenchman Louis Braille invented
the six-dot system and opened the door for
blind people to participate in education, careers
and culture. This simple and ingenious writing
system spread around the world, made the leap
into the computer age and, in spite of modern
speech programmes, is still used in the current
day.
