To find the meaning of the word "simplified" in the context, I looked for clues in the surrounding text. The passage talks about the Full Louis Braille text, which suggests that it might be a complex or extensive piece of writing. The word "simplified" indicates that the text has been made easier to comprehend or understand. This inference is supported by the fact that Braille is a system of raised dots that allows blind people to read and write, and having a simplified version would be beneficial for those learning or using this system. Therefore, by considering the context and the characteristics of Braille, I deduced that "simplified" means making something easier or more accessible.
