Hi Cindy,
Yes, Google is spelled out in Braille. If you put your mouse over the
image you'll see the words "Happy Birthday Louis Braille"
Screen readers will actually read "A picture of the Braille letters spelling
out "Google." Happy Birthday Louis Braille!"
The first "leading dot" is called a capital dot and indicates that the
letter following is capitalized. Notice how the symbol after the leading dot
and the third from the end are identical? These are the g's and the two
symbols in the middle are the same as they're the o's.
For the techies:
The technical details as to how the tool tip and what a screen reader says
is different probably is in the CSS @aural stylesheet.
Click on the image to have google give you some results on Louis Braille.
I thought it looked like an elephant, but after re-reading this post, I'm assuming it's Braille? Does it say google in Braille?
Cindy

Neat image at Google! So it's correct? What does the leading dot do? Does it signal the start of a phrase or sentence?
Just curious, Carrie
