This braille code is referred to as North American ASCII braille, but also as the MIT Braille Code because MIT had a hand in its development to go with their braille translator Dotsys and their embosser, Braille Mboss. Part 1 of this article will discuss the history of braille codes in the United States with particular emphasis on how braille became usable with computers. According to BANA, the goal was to "make the Code for Computer Braille Notation a realistic code, capable of unambiguous representation of current computer notation but flexible enough to respond to changing and demanding needs.".
