Why schools choose Braille.tools
Schools need braille tools that work on managed devices without IT overhead. Braille.tools runs entirely in the browser — no downloads, no installers, no admin privileges required.
The free tier covers daily classroom needs: text translation, homework checking and alphabet reference. Teachers can start using it immediately without creating accounts or requesting software approval.
For schools with multiple TVIs and classroom teachers, the Education Team plan provides 10 seats, 6,000 document pages per month and 1,000 image scans per month for $1,990/year.
Classroom use cases
Homework verification: TVIs use the homework checker to quickly identify errors in student braille work, saving hours of manual decoding each week.
Material creation: Classroom teachers create braille labels, name tags and reading materials using the text-to-braille converter and their school's embosser.
Reading practice: Convert passages to braille for reading fluency exercises. The back-translation feature helps verify comprehension.
Collaboration: General education teachers can create braille versions of shared classroom materials so visually impaired students receive content at the same time as peers.
