Dear Ajay,
You can easily learn braille in a month. You can of course keep
practicing later on and improve your reading and writing speeds.
Learning writing is easier than reading but you can certainly do it
in the specified time period and as Harish said it would be quite
handy in many situations.
Best regards,
Sandeep

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.
Harish.

Subject: [AI] Some doubts regarding braille
Hello friends,
I think, most of you know about me.
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
