Braille literacy skills are essential for success in school and employment and for independence throughout life. Because of the fundamental importance of well-developed literacy skills, the braille code by which persons who are blind or have low vision attain full literacy should be one that is easy and efficient to learn, use, and produce. A process has been under way for some time to study possible changes in the English braille code, which is the focus of this article. The goal of this research project was to gather evaluation data from respondents across English speaking countries on the ways in which they use braille and on their opinions about various aspects of the proposed unified braille code. A written survey was used to collect these data. The participants were 446 English-speaking braille readers, proofreaders, educators, and transcribers from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Since participants in each country independently volunteered themselves or were selected by their braille authorities, the resulting sample was nonrandom. With the exception of respondents from the United Kingdom, 51%?90% of the respondents from all the other countries favored the basic principle of a unified code for all reading materials, except for music (which is already an international code). Only 37% of respondents from the United Kingdom agreed with the concept of a unified code. Similarly, the majority of respondents from all the countries (58%?94%) favored a six-dot cell; stated that no major changes should be made in the current contractions and in short-form words in the literary code (64%?82%); and stated that the braille text should reflect the print text (56%?89%)?with the exception of the United Kingdom (21%) and 42% of the nontechnical readers from the United States. There was more variation (5%?78% agreement) and, in general, less support from the respondents, on changes related
