Yes, there is. Many bead loom patterns come with a line by line word chart 
which is easy for blind people to follow. Also, you can use counted cross 
stich patterns to work for beading as well. Check out www.bead-patterns.com. 
There you will find a catagory for individual  patterns, and e-books of 
beading loom projects.  and some of them are free. Make sure they say that 
there is a word chart  included. They download as PDF files, but the word 
charts are easy to read using adobe reader, or any PDf reader. Bead loom 
patterns aregreat for doing pictures for earrings, amulet bags, etc. They're 
fun.
