Braille is a method of reading and feeling text through touch, rather than sight. It is mainly used by those with impaired vision; however, sighted people can read Braille as well. There are many reasons for this, especially for those with a blind or visually impaired person in their household. There are many types of Braille, including musical, mathematical, and multiple types of literary Braille. The most commonly taught and used is Grade 2 Literary Braille.
