Etymology

The term 'Brailling' originates from the name of Louis Braille, a French educator and inventor born in 1809. Louis lost his eyesight at a young age due to an accident, leading him to innovate a reading system for the blind, based on the tactile principles used by the French army. In 1824, at the age of 15, Braille introduced his system, consisting of a matrix of six dots arranged in two vertical columns. This system allowed for the representation of letters, numerals, and musical notation. It quickly gained acceptance in educational institutions for the blind and laid the foundation for literacy in the visually impaired community. The word 'Braille' itself became synonymous with tactile reading, and as it evolved, the verb 'to Braille' emerged, signifying the process of writing in this specialized format. Over the years, advancements in technology have further enhanced the accessibility of information through Brailling, leading to various tools and devices to support reading and writing for the blind.
