One honest boundary

It improves the view—not the meaning.

This tool does not summarize, interpret, or give medical, legal, financial, or professional advice. If the words affect an important decision, ask a qualified person to help you understand them.

The honest origin story

A modest experiment became a clearer mission.

Fewer Barriers began years ago with a simple Text to Braille experiment. It was useful as a sketch, but it was not serious Braille transcription. We kept the purpose, rejected the overclaim, and built a better first tool.

Standards, limits and speech privacy

The interaction and reading controls draw on the W3C Cognitive Accessibility Design Guide, the WCAG 2.2 text-spacing guidance, and the American Printing House for the Blind large-print guidance. These sources inform the design; they are not a claim of formal certification.

Read aloud uses the browser’s Web Speech API. Some devices may send spoken text to their own online voice service. Fewer Barriers does not choose or operate that service.
