Three phases from setup to celebration
Brailly is designed so guardians and educators can onboard in minutes, while learners stay immersed in tactile play. Here’s what each session looks like.
Set up the device
An adult connects Brailly and chooses a learner. Setup takes a couple of minutes—then you can start with the first letters.
- Connect the device to Wi-Fi
- Choose the learner
- Start with the first letters
Feel and respond
Brailly names a letter and the learner explores its dots, then presses the pattern on the six buttons. The device responds out loud.
- The voice introduces the letter
- The learner feels and presses the pattern
- Brailly confirms it, or gently corrects
Build up over time
Mastered letters grow into short words. The companion dashboard prototype explores how practice could be reviewed over time.
- Letters build into words
- The software prototype records practice sessions
- Families can explore progress in the dashboard prototype
A simple loop that builds confidence
Brailly blends tactile input with spoken feedback. Each step is short, encouraging, and ends on something the learner got right.
Feel the letter
Brailly names a letter aloud and the learner explores its dot pattern on the device with their fingertips.
Press what you feel
Using the six buttons, the learner recreates the pattern. Brailly responds right away—out loud, in the moment.
Move on to words
Mastered letters build into short words like “love”. Each session is paced to end on a win.
