What people who use it say
5 out of 5 stars
As a blind person who has written braille since I was little, I can say you won’t find a more useful app for learning braille than this one: practical lessons and very varied tests.
It gets addictive. I already know the letters but I don’t practise them, so it makes me think and take my time. I like that it has several activities […] and that makes it dynamic.
A great app: educational, entertaining and versatile. A very enjoyable way to learn braille.

Why Braillito?
Learning braille still depends on finding the right person in the right place. That is what we are here to change.
Real braille, not a transliteration
Each of the 38 languages uses the code that is actually used: Japanese braille encodes kana syllables, Korean braille breaks hangul into jamo, and English uses the contractions of Unified English Braille.
Accessible from the start
During onboarding the app asks whether you use a screen reader and adapts the interface, the flows and the exercises. It is not a separate mode: it is the same app.
Truly progressive
From the six-dot cell to math symbols, in an order designed so that every lesson builds on the one before.
Inside the app
Six dots, and everything else follows
A braille cell has six dots. Dots 1, 2 and 3 form the left column from top to bottom; dots 4, 5 and 6, the right. Combinations of those six write the letters, numbers and punctuation of any language.
Every exercise in the app starts from that cell: you recognise it, you build it and you use it inside words. The dictionary, the translator and the builder are always one tap away.
What brings you back tomorrow
Streaks, levels and achievements. Not to collect medals, but because learning braille is a matter of consistency.
Some of the mini-games
- Letter Rain Catch the correct letters before they fall.
- Braille Cascade Balls fall and form a braille letter.
- Crucibraille A full crossword written in braille.
- Tombola Spin and guess the braille letter.
And the rest, alongside the exercises in every lesson, inside the app.
🌙 Dark mode
The same lesson, your way
For many people with low vision, screen brightness is not a matter of taste: glare is tiring and cuts sessions short. Braillito has a dark mode and a light mode, and remembers the one you choose.
Raised dots are told apart from flat ones by their fill, not only by colour, so the cell reads just as well in both modes and with the system’s high contrast.
38 languages, none of them machine-translated
Switching language does not just change the buttons. Braille is not a single alphabet: each language has its own code, and Braillito teaches the one that is really used in each.

Contact usWe are the Braille Perú team
Braillito is built by a team from Peru working so that learning braille no longer depends on finding the right person in the right place.
Three partners founded it, but Braillito is not the work of three people: it belongs to the whole team in that photo, and to the community of blind and low-vision people, families and teachers who tell us what works and what does not.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Braillito cost?
Braillito is paid from the start: when you open it, it asks for a subscription. The price depends on your country, so the one that counts is the price on the App Store or Google Play page before you confirm anything. Besides the app, this website has a braille translator and the full braille alphabet, which you can use without an account and without paying.
Does it work with a screen reader?
Yes, with VoiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android. During onboarding the app asks whether you use a screen reader and adapts the interface and the exercises. It is not a separate mode: it is the same app.
Is it useful if I can see and want to teach someone?
Yes. That is one of the people it was designed for. The exercises work visually as well as by ear, so you can learn the system yourself and support the other person.
Which languages does it cover, and is it real braille in each one?
Braillito teaches braille in 38 languages, and in each one it uses the code that is actually used there, not a translation from Spanish. Braille is not a single alphabet: Japanese braille encodes kana, Korean braille encodes the jamo of hangul, Arabic braille writes short vowels in their own cells, and English uses Unified English Braille.
Does it work with a refreshable braille display?
The text in the app is real text, so a braille display shows it as braille automatically. We have not tested every model; if you use one and something does not work as you expect, write to us and we will fix it.
Does it have a dark mode?
Yes, in the app. You can choose light or dark mode and the app remembers your choice. Raised dots are told apart from flat ones by their fill, not only by colour, so the cell reads the same in both modes.
