Wikipedia: Braille
Braille (Braille: ⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑) (/breɪl/; French: [bʁaj]) is a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired. It is traditionally written with embossed paper. Braille users can read computer screens and other electronic supports using refreshable braille displays. They can write braille with the original slate and stylus or type it on a braille writer, such as a portable braille notetaker or computer that prints with a braille embosser.

As a new language, Braille is not that difficult to learn.
You just have to have a feel for it.
