To clarify our misunderstanding earlier

Braille is actually pretty awesome; but the signs we make with it are a bit of a mess sometimes: saw a phone number thing next to a phone that had the braille for the names of what the numbers called but not the actual numbers themselves.

What do you mean? I'm curious. It didn't say what numbers to call, just the name of the place?

Generally, it is a one to one rendering, so it doesn't take any more time to write in braille than in any other script.

yah, (this is one one of those "heres a helpful reminder if you are in an emergency and need these numbers" deals) there was the braille for "this is the place!" and the numbers are across, like you'd expect, only there wasn't any braille for the numbers, which sort of negates any benefits of having the first braille on the names

Excellent! I always wondered how the blind even found the braille on elevators, hotel rooms or something. I can only assume that there are standards about where the signs would be, so you knew / know to expect them?
