     First of all, it is important to establish parameters on the scope of this question. It is in fact two questions: can you read braille with your clitoris, and does this impact reading speed?

     For the purpose of answering this question, we will assume that the OP means the clitoral glans. The glans is the only part of the clitoris which sticks out. The rest of it is beneath the skin of the vulva. Here's what the whole organ looks like; the glans is at the top.

     The first problem with reading braille using your clitoral glans is one of distraction by becoming immediately very turned on. The clitoris is made from erectile tissue. When you're aroused, it becomes erect, and applies pressure to itself, the vagina and the urethra. Rubbing the glans can provoke this response. It would therefore make reading difficult, although not impossible if you set your mind to it.

     Braille, for those of you who do not know this, is a tactile writing system consisting of raised characters which is usually read by the fingers. However, if a braille reader does not have fingers, they can read using other parts of the body, often the toes or the lips.

     In this regard, it would be perfectly possible to read braille with the clitoral glans, as braille does not inherently require fingers to read. However, there is a major caveat to this.

     OP is quite correct in their understanding that the glans of the clitoris has 10,000 nerve endings. The 8,000 nerve endings figure is a myth based on cow clitorises (more on this here: https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/109478463013137768)
