additions.

Dictionaries added in Spanish and Portuguese

With this update, we’ve moved from having one language to three, and more are on the way. Right now, we don’t have as many options in Spanish and Portuguese as we have in English, but this is something we are working on. For now, we do have full dictionaries for both languages. We also have translations of the dictionary site into Spanish and Portuguese, so no knowledge of English is needed to find the dictionary you’re looking for.

Tips and tricks for using the dictionaries

Every dictionary page has suggested formats for quite a few Braille displays, but now, we also have suggestions for how to read them for some devices. If you’re wondering why we suggest a certain format or if there are faster ways, check your device on any dictionary page. If we have suggestions, you will find a link to them next to the suggested format. If you have any tips about a device that you think would be useful to others, tell us about them and we would be happy to make them available.

New announcements list for getting updates

If you’re waiting to hear about new languages, changes to the site, or new projects, we have added an email list for subscribing to updates. This is just an announcement list from us and will be pretty quiet, but it is a great way of hearing when we’ve made something new. You can find the subscribe information at the top of the news page.

Acknowledgements

We’d like to thank our translators for making this site and the dictionary instructions available in as many languages as we can. Their efforts are deeply appreciated by all of us at Seeing Hands and everyone who will be using this project in other languages.

We would also like to thank all of the users who have sent feedback, whether requesting another language, helping us find formats for a new device, or just letting us know what this project means to you. We read and respond to any message you send and we’re always happy to hear from you.
