LEGO\u2019s Official Audio & Braille Instructions (Pilot Program)\n\nLEGO launched a pilot program in **2019** to provide audio and Braille building instructions, created with input from blind LEGO enthusiast Matthew Shifrin. The pilot uses AI to translate standard visual instructions into:\n\n- Audio (spoken instructions via screen reader or LEGO\u2019s voice files)  \n- Braille (for readers or printed/tactile use) ([lego.com](https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/discover/stories/audio-braille-instructions?utm_source=openai))\n\n#### Initial Sets in the Pilot\n\nThe first four LEGO sets included in the pilot were:\n\n| LEGO Theme       | Set Name                                         | Set Number |\n|------------------|--------------------------------------------------|------------|\n| LEGO Classic     | Bricks & Ideas                                 | 11001      |\n| LEGO Friends     | Emma\u2019s Art Studio                              | 41365      |\n| LEGO City        | Sky Police Drone Chase                         | 60207      |\n| LEGO Movie 2     | Emmet and Benny\u2019s \u201cBuild and Fix\u201d Workshop     | 70821      | ([lego.com](https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/discover/stories/audio-braille-instructions?utm_source=openai))\n\n#### Availability & Expansion\n\n- These instructions are available free on the site **legoAudioInstructions.com**.  \n- Since the pilot, the library has expanded significantly\u2014many more sets from themes like **Star Wars**, **Technic**, **City**, **Friends**, **NINJAGO**, etc., now have audio text or Braille versions. ([bricksfanz.com](https://bricksfanz.com/audio-braille-lego-instructions-library-expanded/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 2. \u201cBricks for the Blind\u201d (Nonprofit / Fan Organization)\n\n- Matthew Shifrin also runs a nonprofit called **Bricks for the Blind**, which has created **text-based instructions** (usable with screen readers or Braille readers) for **over 540 LEGO sets** as of ~April 2026. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/5a2a27de4354a0b1443171c3f24f29e4?utm_source=openai))  \n- These range from small builds to big ones (from ~100 pieces to thousands). ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/5a2a27de4354a0b1443171c3f24f29e4?utm_source=openai))  \n- The instructions are free and can be printed (as Braille) or read via assistive tech. The nonprofit\u2019s work predates and complements LEGO\u2019s official pilot. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/5a2a27de4354a0b1443171c3f24f29e4?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 3. What This Means in Practice\n\n**If you\u2019re interested in which LEGO sets currently support audio/Braille instructions, here\u2019s what to know:**\n\n- The official LEGO pilot program continues to grow. The expanded library now includes dozens of sets across many product lines. ([bricksfanz.com](https://bricksfanz.com/audio-braille-lego-instructions-library-expanded/?utm_source=openai))  \n- For older or less common sets, the **Bricks for the Blind** site is a go-to source. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/5a2a27de4354a0b1443171c3f24f29e4?utm_source=openai))  \n- Everything is free\u2014official or nonprofit instructions are made so accessibility isn\u2019t gated. ([lego.com](https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/discover/stories/audio-braille-instructions?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can pull up a **specific list** of all available LEGO sets with audio instructions *as of today* (June 2026), so you can browse the ones you're interested in. Do you want me to gather that?"
