Braille system

This invent is an alphabet with a system of reading and writing by means of points. The way to read the Braille alphabet is to move the hand from left to right through each line. The Braille readers can read from 104 to 125 words per minute.
Louis Braille was the creator of this system and he decided to do it because when he was 15 years old he had an accident and he went blind.
