AI overview
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The provided caption only mentions a Braille dashboard in an elevator as an example of accessibility, but doesn't explain what Braille script actually is or why it matters. To write an accurate, fact-based overview as requested, I would need more substantive source material about Braille itself.

Braille ( ; ) is a tactile writing system used by blind or visually impaired people. It can be read either on embossed paper or by using refreshable braille displays that connect to computers and smartphone devices. Braille can be written using a slate and stylus, a braille writer, an electronic braille notetaker or with the use of a computer connected to a braille embosser. For blind readers, braille is an independent writing system, rather than a code of printed orthography.
