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

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • 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…
