I don't know if I fully understand the scope of this project but my first impression is that this is exactly what it does. It provides alternate input method emulating braile style typewriter on a classic keyboard.

Greetings

Peter

I don't have any braille devices, so for the moment typing braille style would not benefit me, but this sounds very useful.
