Folks,



I was talking to a client that provides standardized testing for people with
disabilities. I was told that some students asked for Braille Rulers on
their tests. The test is done through the browser and sighted users have
rules, scientific calculators and a bunch of other tools.



So has anyone heard of a Braille Ruler that a blind person can use through a
Braille Display? I have never used a Braille Display to navigate the web.
However, I know that a tangible Braille Ruler exist. Yet, I have never heard
of an intangible Braille Ruler.



Any light you can shed on this would highly be appreciated.
