# Braille To Dots Decomposer

> Braille To Dots Decomposer is a paid API for AI agents from braille.openverbs.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Decomposes a Unicode braille string into its individual cells and the raised-dot numbers (1–8) for each cell.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability braille-to-dots-decomposer-9ce55f2e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you decompose this braille string '⠓⠑⠇⠇⠕' into its individual cells and tell me which dot numbers (1–8) are raised in each one?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to inspect or process the raw dot-number structure of individual braille cells — for example, validating braille encodings, building braille renderers, educational tools, or analyzing braille output from transcription services. Prefer this over the sibling text-to-braille or braille-to-text endpoints when you already have a braille string and need its decomposed dot representation rather than a text transcription.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'braille' field returns a validation error
- Non-braille Unicode characters may produce unexpected or empty cell results
- Malformed JSON body returns a 400 bad request
- Payment not included or insufficient causes a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Break a braille string into its cells and the raised-dot numbers (1–8) of each cell.

## Output

Returns an array of braille cells parsed from the input Unicode string, each cell represented with its raised dot numbers (integers 1–8), enabling programmatic inspection of the physical dot structure of each braille character.
