Transliteration🔄 Instant transliteration according to ICAO standard This tool converts Russian text (Cyrillic) into English letters (Latin). We use the official standard ICAO Doc 9303, which is mandatory for passports, airline tickets and international licenses.
Base64🔄 What is Base64 and why is it needed? Base64 is an encoding standard that turns any binary data (pictures, files, archives) into a secure text string consisting of 64 characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “+” and “/”).
Caesar Cipher🕵️‍♂️ How the Caesar Cipher and this calculator work The Caesar cipher is one of the oldest encryption methods (simple substitution cipher).
  1. Select mode: Text → Braille or Braille → Text.
  2. Enter your message. The system supports Russian letters (including “е”), the English alphabet, numbers and basic punctuation marks.
  3. Copy the result.

Features of the Braille system

Each symbol in this system is a combination of six dots arranged in two columns (2x3 matrix).

Since the number of combinations is limited, the system uses special service indicator symbols:

  • Numbers: In Braille, the numbers 1-9 and 0 are written in the same way as the first 10 letters of the alphabet (a-j), but they are preceded by a special “#” sign (numeric indicator).
  • Capital letters: If you use our case converter or simply write with a Capital Letter, the system will automatically add a capital letter sign in front of the character (one dot at the bottom right).

Practical application

Sphere Why use
🖨️ Layouts and design Creating visual layouts for door signs, evacuation plans or product packaging. (For tactile reading, embossing on a special printer is required).
🎓 Training Test yourself while learning the alphabet. You can enter text and compare your translation with the reference one.
🧩 Quests and games Creating riddles for Escape-room or home quests. Braille is a great way to encode a clue.

Tip: If you are preparing text for a sign, we recommend checking the length of the message in advance using character count, since Braille font takes up more space in width than regular text.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

🔹 Why does the result look like squares or empty spaces?

This means that your device does not have a font that supports Unicode Braille Patterns. Try opening the page in a modern browser (Chrome, Safari) or on a mobile device.

🔹 Is it possible to print this text so that blind people can read?

A regular printer will simply print black dots on paper. Blind people read with their fingers, so the dots should be raised. To create a real document, you need a special braille printer (embosser) or use thick paper and stylus.

🔹 How to copy the result correctly?

Simply select the text in the bottom field and press Ctrl+C. Braille characters are standard Unicode characters and will be inserted into Word, Telegram or any other editor.
