How do Chinese blind people write, read and do other stuff with these Chinese complex characters?
Back to General Discussion#1 cyrmax
Hi there!
Okay, I will give a bit of explanation because a question in the topic doesn't look obvious at first glance.
I'm a native Russian, I've learned English at school, I know Hungarian and Portuguese a little.
All these languages have usual alphabet. I mean some languages have phonetical spelling, like I spell what I hear and I read what I see.
Some languages, like French or English have some reading rules, some strange historical exceptions from these rules...
But here you have 26 English or 33 Russian or about 40 Hungarian letters on your keyboard and you do write words.
How do Chinese people write on a keyboard?
Okay, about that I can ask Google.
But what about blind people?
Does Chinese braille exist? How it looks like?
How do Chinese blind people write in braille? On a keyboard? On their phones (I guess with braille input too)?
For example if we have several Chinese characters with the same sound and tone but with different visuals, how do we differentiate them with TTS? Or how do we write them differently on a keyboard?
The Korean language is similar in terms of strange characters, but at least this language is phonetic, so every visual character corresponds to one sylable and that sylable is written with key combos on a keyboard.
If someone answers my questions I would be very happy!

Hello everyone. cyrmax asked a really interesting question. Are there any Chinese, Korean or Japanese users at Elton? It would be very interesting to talk to them. Not only about Braille, but also about other things in their blind community.
