Instead of typing alphanumeric characters as on a typewriter, pressing different combinations prints shorthand symbols on the tape, each representing a different phoneme.  Speech is easier to keep up with this way, since each phoneme typically represents multiple characters.\n\nThe downside – until AI came to the rescue – was that it then took hours to manually transcribe to shorthand into conventional readable text.",

The effect is to enable blind users to use their tactile sensitivity to read with their fingers.\n\nEach Braille symbol consists of two columns of 3 embossed dots each.  Which 3 dots are embossed in each column is determined by which of the three keys on either side are simultaneously pressed. The key in the middle, operated by either thumb, enters a space.",

And, using the left mouse button, there is also a 1-button mouse\n\nText was entered using a minor variant of 7-bit ASCII.  The intent was to enable entering small bits of text without moving back-and-forth between mouse and QWERTY keyboard. It didn’t catch on.",
