Answer
Moon type was a competing system to Braille's invention. It was a tactile reading system developed by William Moon in the 1840s. Moon type used raised letters that were larger and simpler than Braille's dots, making it easier for people with low vision to read. However, Braille's system ultimately became more widely adopted due to its greater efficiency and versatility.
