Like how morse code is usually heard in sound blips consisting of 
shorter blips and longer blips. Like the letter C in morse code is -.-.

I mean the same, but visually, possibly using black and white. Like a 
shorter blip could be let's say .25 sec of white, a longer would be .6 
sec of white. My friend has difficulty with ears, eyes, and hands 
(otherwise, we could use braille), so I thought of this idea.



Thanks to everyone that has answered so far! I'm in college right now, 
so I won't be able to try these things out until the weekend, but I'm 
really happy this message has gotten so many replies. I've considered a 
braille display, but they are supposedly very expensive, but I will 
reconsider it and be on the lookout for it in libraries or universities.
