A Drupal module that integrates CKEditor 5 with a Braille input plugin, allowing users to type Braille unicode characters directly inside the editor using standard keyboard key combinations.

Features

  • Braille widget insertion with configurable key mappings
    (f d s j k l, pressed individually or in combination).
  • Transliteration between regular text and Braille via a toolbar dropdown.
  • A configuration dialog for setting words, Braille inputs,
    transliteration direction, and strict mode per widget instance.
  • Speech synthesis integration for reading back content.
  • API integration for fetching challenge data from an external endpoint.

Installation

Install in the usual Drupal way, preferably via Composer:

composer require drupal/ckeditor_braille

Enable the module, then navigate to
Administration → Configuration → Content authoring → Text formats, edit (or create) a format using CKEditor 5, and drag the Braille toolbar item into the active toolbar.

Drupal Configuration

Once the Braille toolbar item is added to a text format, a settings form appears on the Text format configuration page with the following sections: API, UI, Speech; See more about these in README.md.

The prebuilt assets
js/build/ckeditorbraille.umd.js and js/build/ckeditorbraille.css ship with the module and are ready to use without any build step.

Develop: TypeScript source

See the source on GitLab and see README.md for usage.
