dot. presents itself as a new Braille writing alternative, aiming to improve communication and facilitate access to this type of tool. Thus, it manages to overcome the lack of investment and development in this field.
With its small size, it offers unlimited use. It fulfills its function practically and objectively. dot. allows its users to write all existing characters (letters, numbers, and punctuation).
It is evident that the inclusion of Braille writing has been gaining increasing importance and has been applied in various situations, such as various communication supports, signaling, markings, among others. However, we believe that there is still room for improvement.
Suitable for everyday use, dot. allows for making casual notes, identifying important/relevant documents, as well as identifying money (banknotes) based on their value.
Ready to assist in learning Braille writing, the dot. envisions its use in different sectors, areas, and locations. It can be implemented in educational institutions such as schools, communities, recreational centers, libraries, among others, and in homeschooling and individual learning.
As an aspect of Open and Distributed Design, it facilitates and democratizes access to Braille writing globally. It promotes equity between Braille writing and handwritten writing, as well as their practice and learning.
