Turn your braille lessons into printable flashcards
Skip the generic alphabet chart. Upload the braille material your class is using and get flashcards that match it, with spaced repetition to keep cells and contractions fresh.
Printable braille flashcards made from your own material
A ready-made sheet rarely matches the braille contractions your class is learning this week, so start with the material you already have. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or notes and builds printable braille flashcards from them, though the PDF export that makes them printable is part of Plus.
- Front: a letter or contraction. Back: its dot numbers.
- Include the number sign so digits are read correctly.
- Keep the cell layout in mind: dots 1-2-3 on the left, dots 4-5-6 on the right.
- Study in the browser on the free plan, and export a PDF on Plus.
Built from your braille material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a printed page, and get cards based on that exact content.
Spaced repetition built in
Cards return at growing intervals, so the letters and contractions you miss come back before you forget them.
Print as PDF on Plus
Plus exports your deck as a PDF you can print for desk or group study. The free plan studies in the browser.
How it works
Upload your lesson
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, notes, or an image of a page from your braille course.
Study the cards
Review the generated flashcards in your browser, and let spaced repetition schedule the cells you find hard.
Export a printable PDF
Upgrade to Plus at $7.99 a month or $39 a year to export your deck as a PDF you can print.
Learn the cell structure first: each braille letter is a combination of dots 1 through 6 in a two-column grid. Once the alphabet feels automatic, move to contractions, where single cells stand for common letter groups and whole words.
Review in short sessions. Spaced repetition brings back the cells you miss at longer intervals, which helps contractions stick.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for learning braille?
Start with one card per letter, then add contractions as your class introduces them. Add more only after the current cards feel easy to read.
How do I practice braille cells with flashcards?
Put the letter or contraction on the front and its dot numbers on the back, such as 'b: dots 1-2'. Read the cell aloud after you flip the card to build recall.
Can I print DeckOwl flashcards on the free plan?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but it does not include exports. PDF export is part of Plus, which costs $7.99 a month or $39 a year.
Do students get a discount?
Yes, students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
