Hi Ajay, Though I extensively use the computer, phone and voice recorder etc. I sometimes do use Braille at office as well as at home for following purposes, a at office: 1.sticking name tags / title in Braille on various important files and hardcopy papers [hardcopy is quite extensively used in my dept] 2. for noting the phone numbers: I have made a telephone diary of all our offices in India whom aim suppose to call frequently from my desk phone. Of course I can take the number from the computer or my mobile but some time this diary is more handy.
3.For making presentations on powerpoint [Braille notes can be refered too for ensuring correct sequence of your slides and also keeping handi some additional notes] B at home: 1 tagging my important CDs, my cosmetics especially lipsticks [which may not be of much concerned to you though] 2. tagging the containers containing various eatables especially similar textured Daals and floor [Atta] Lastly keeping notes of some confidential things which u do not want others to easily read. Though it is always good to learn Braille as it gives you 1 more means of independence, however not knowing it may not make large difference as a lot of blind people manage very well without Braille also. And ya these were the views of the undersigned who is in her late 20s [not sure if falling in your definition of "young persons"] Anyways all the very best. Thanks and warm Regards, Nikita V. Raut, Senior Manager [HR] Bank of Baroda, -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Ajay Minocha Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 2:26 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Some doubts regarding braille Hello, Bhivani sir, Harish sir, Sandeep sir Many many thanks.
