How to check braille homework.

Give teachers, parents and learners a clear cell-by-cell explanation instead of returning only a correct or incorrect result.

Open Homework Checker UEB Grade 1 and Grade 2

Expected-answer generation

Generate the UEB answer from the printed assignment text and selected grade.

Six-key input

Type Unicode braille by chording dots 1–6 on a standard keyboard.

Back-translation

See what the student submission reads as after applying the selected UEB rules.

Cell-level feedback

Identify correct, missing, extra and substituted cells for focused correction.

Step 1: Enter the printed assignment text

Enter the English sentence or prompt the student was asked to write so the checker can generate the expected UEB answer.

Step 2: Choose Grade 1 or Grade 2

Select Grade 1 for uncontracted braille or Grade 2 when the assignment expects UEB contractions.

Step 3: Enter the student braille answer

Paste Unicode braille or enable six-key input. Use F, D and S for dots 1–3 and J, K and L for dots 4–6.

Step 4: Run the homework check

The checker generates the expected answer, back-translates the student submission and aligns the cells for comparison.

Step 5: Review each correction with the learner

Use the score and cell statuses to discuss missing, extra and substituted cells. Treat the feedback as a teaching aid rather than an official assessment decision.

Common questions

What to know before translating

Does the checker support contracted braille?

Yes. Select UEB Grade 2 when the assignment expects contracted braille, or Grade 1 for uncontracted work.

How do I type braille without a braille keyboard?

Enable six-key input and chord F, D and S for dots 1–3 with J, K and L for dots 4–6. Releasing a chord inserts one Unicode braille cell.

What kinds of mistakes does it identify?

The comparison marks correct cells and identifies missing, extra or substituted cells relative to the generated expected answer.

Can it replace a Teacher of the Visually Impaired?

No. It is a feedback and practice tool. Teachers should use instructional context and professional judgment when assessing student work.

Does it support Nemeth math braille?

Not currently. The checker focuses on English UEB Grade 1 and Grade 2 literary braille rather than Nemeth mathematical notation.
