Hi: Lol! Yes, fingers are better than ears when playing guitars and pianos too.
Regarding basic proofreading and editing no matter what screen reader certain things should be obvious when a word sounds wrong, it runs on without pausing, etc it is easy enough to find and correct such errors just by using speech alone. I figure most people don't care, and don't bother doing basic proofreading which they can do with any screen reader with or without a spell checker. However, some things I question if it is just a lack of caring or a lack of literacy such as the difference between to, too, and two or where and wear. I see such mistakes often on lists and wonder about the literacy level of the poster sending the post. As you say learning and using braille would help out alot with such mistakes. Cheers!
