Hidden within the Shapes Generator toolbar in Tinkercad, is a braille tool which automatically translates text into the tactile reading system for people who are visually impaired. It’s easy to use, just drag and drop the Braille Generator onto the work plane and type your chosen text into the pop up box that appears.
