Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unified English Braille (UEB)?
UEB is the standard form of literary Braille for English-speaking countries. It provides consistency across UK, USA, Australia, and Canada. AutoDots uses UEB for general text translation.
Does AutoDots support maths and technical notation?
Yes. AutoDots converts mathematical expressions to Braille using UEB Technical and follows BANA Section 11 guidelines for tables.
What file formats can I upload?
PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG, and other common document formats. The AI extracts text and generates descriptions for images and diagrams.
How accurate is the translation?
AutoDots starts with draft output. Public samples are labelled Draft, Reviewed, or Verified so you can see what has and has not been checked. Complex layouts, handwriting, and poor scans may still need manual correction.
Can I use AutoDots for exams or official documents?
AutoDots helps produce drafts faster. A qualified Braille transcriber should review any document where accuracy is legally required.
What do Draft, Reviewed, and Verified mean?
Draft means workflow output with no team review. Reviewed means a team member checked the sample against the source and wrote down its limitations. Verified means it cleared the current publication checklist and is eligible for the public catalogue.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Free includes 10 pages per month. Pro includes 100 pages per month plus priority queue access.
