An Alernative to Braille.

Thurlow, W. R.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v82 n9 p378 Nov 1988

Braille code is difficult to learn and discriminate tactually. A new symbol set, C5, is based on the Moon system of embossed reading and Bliss symbols. Experiments with the C5 alphabet code, printed by a braille printer, showed that subjects found braille code more difficult to learn than C5 code. (Author/JDD)
