A free browser-based braille translator that converts English to Braille and Braille to English, with Grade 1 and Grade 2 support, voice input, OCR, andbrf export.
Free browser-based braille translator. Convert English to Braille and Braille to English with Grade 1 and Grade 2 output, voice input, OCR, and .brf export
Instantly translate English to Braille and Braille to English , with intelligent support for Grade 1 and Grade 2 braille. Every translation runs in JavaScript, on your device, so it works as a private braille transcriber for anything from a single word to full documents. There is no server call for the core engine, so nothing you type is transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere. This is also why the tool feels instant: there is no round trip to wait on. The one exception is voice input, covered below, since browser speech recognition works differently. Grade 1 braille is uncontracted: every letter, number, and punctuation mark is written out in full, one braille cell per character. Grade 2…from brailledot.com

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
