I am one of those people you speak of. Whenever possible, I very much
prefer doing my own reading rather than having someone or some thing, as a
computer's speech synthesizer, reading to me. I am probably misspelling
this, but I wonder if daisy documents are the answer, as some of them can be
both heard and felt, and they are fairly inexpensive to produce. Here
again, though, the reader needs equipment to access them.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] the cost of documentation - Re: Some
practicalquestionsreguarding the Monopoly game
Hi Charles:
Well, that may be, but the fact is we are trying to cut costs for
someone producing the documentation be it a menu or a game's user
guide. If the braille documentation costs too much to do it chances
are they won't, but if we can offer them something cheaper that is
accessible they might go for that.
The other issue is braille literacy itself. Not everyone who is blind
knows braille, or is especially good with it. I myself lost my sight
later in life, learned braille, but am not real good with it. I would
prefer an electronic document over a braille document simply because
my braille reading skills are not that good. Someone who has been
blind all their life, started learning braille since the first day of
school, would probably feel a lot differently from me about the
subject.
Cheers!
