At first I wondered what the secret message would be to braille users, then I realised they wouldn’t know either.

Can screen readers read braille?

Interesting question, I was really talking about the message in the image, but I don’t know about the title.
I knew someone who had a braille laptop once, so instead of a screen it had a tactile braille row in front of the keyboard. I assume if you gave it braille characters it could give them to the user, but I actually have no idea.

it’s the same braille as on the sign

I don’t think the braille is necessary. By the time someoneb starts to “read” it, they already know what it says.

Stating the obvious is my specialty.
I am good at nothing else.

Got blinded by reading a sign that told me to look away, got my fingertips melted by reading a sign that told me not to touch.
Went to an Ace of Base concert but stood too close to the speakers, and well… You can guess.

Erm… the loud thunderous beat of “All That She Wants” made you asexual?

Funniest thing I’ve seen today.

I love that the braille just cuts off too:
“HOT SURFACE DO NOT”
As if to say: if you made it this far then you already know.
sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
It says “hot surface do not touch” in full, actually. Braille uses single characters to represent some common letter combinations (“touch” is “t” + “ou” + “ch”). The words “do” and “not” are contracted to a single letter (“d” and “n”) each.

Aaahh OK. I thought I was so clever to just count the characters lol. Classic Dunning-Kruger
