Nice idea but the translation is incorrect at least to Grade II English (U.S.)

Using the "Braille" font (which has been used here) to convert letter for letter is not the correct way to translate messages for braille - I don't recommend it.

yeah thats true. 

i use the unicodes to generate a value for the letters/symbols. numbers consists of combination of 2 or 3 three grids, which is not impossible but complex. 

maybe theres a system in the braille - "font", so you can just use the uniddeo of whatever and map it to the list order of the circles.

if someone is interest , here is the file.  I feel kinda dumb, cause I don't know how to attach the file directly here in the forum :X

hope you can download it.

if the limitation is symbol size, you could add parenthesis, quotes, and punctuation easily, it is just the numerals that require a new logic, right?

@david

just like mark already wrote. it is made to generate cnc drawings :D. i had to laugh a little bit as I was reading your comment, like, damn thats a point! 

for me it was just like an exercise to understand how to handle trees with paths and so on...

@mark

yeah for sure, i will send you the def. i didn't get how to attach a def in the comment post :P

but sadly it does not works with every symbol. only with the standard alphabet ( A-Z , so 26 letters plus spaces).

have fun and maybe you can even enhance the script! :)

And pray how are blind folk supposed to find this? Isn't it like ads for lip-reading on the radio?
