Abstract
People with disabilities are constantly denied from their rights and duties, emphasizing the accessibility importance as a path to social equality and independence for them. This paper presents the Braille Typist proposal, a digital game that uses a Braille typewriter machine emulator to perform individual competitions for training visually impaired people with the Braille typewriter usage. As expected results, an approach to publicize the Braille usage will be provided, as well as promoting a social and digital initiative to include people with visual impairments.
