Dear Ajay In a corporate scenario, you will have to make many presentation and provide information or take notes. Taking notes can be done by alternative modes like taking it on laptops, recorders etc. you may have to go to your seniors and taking laptop all the time may not be feasible.
It is in these moments where Braille comes really handy. Oftener, technology fails you when you need it the most. Braille will not fail you then. It takes you double the time when you listen on your laptop and you speak it out later on. Braille would be direct.

Well for those who don't know, I am currently pursuing my final year of graduation from commerce streme. I started using screan readers and other assistive devices in april 2010. I had enough vision at that time to support me in my studies as well as mobility. Since december 2011, due to a sudden diminish in my eyesight, I had to switch to scanning and OCR for my studies and white cane for my mobility needs. Since then, I am dependent on my laptop for note taking and other tasks. I appeared for cat 2012 and got shortlisted for the 2nd round of addmission process of Some IIMs. It was obvious that I never thought of learning braille due to that sudden changing senario of my life. Now when the things are quite setteled down and I find myself comfortable with allmost all the things which I use, I want to ask all the professionals on this list that should I learn braille? I know it may prove really helpful in my day to day tasks but apart from that what benifits of braille do you people see in today's corporate world? If got selected then, I will be having appropsimattely 1 month with me. So can I learn reading and writing english language using braille in this time span? I request all those people who are working specially in corporate world to give me proper guidance. regards -- Ajay Minocha Mob : +91-7827188455 E mail : ajayminoc...@gmail.com ajayminocha2...@rediffmail.com Skype: ajayminocha2 Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
