Well.
It all depends what you started with.
That is what you got at school.
For me it was braille then a type writer then a computer.
Now I believve that its braille on a braille device but it could also be
an electronic unit.
Typing on a computer is skipped though you can go over to that yourself.
The thing is government can only fund 1 solution so you either go full
braille or no braille.
Each has a cost.
Obviously the braille way is more expensive the computer may be a bit
cheaper but by the time you get jaws office etc and whatevver hardware
well who knows.
The disadvantage to this would be for people that do more than office
work, ie play windows games and run standard windows programs since on a
braille device with specialised os you can't exactly do that

Hi Dark,
I have been asking myself those same questions. I understand Charles
really really really believes braille is the way to go on this, but as
I stated in a prior post it is not going to work for everybody simply
because not everyone with a visual impairment reads braille. We have
large print users, we have the newly blind, and we have others who for
one reason or another simply do not know or can't read braille.
For example, I happen to know a guy who is totally blind, and although
they tried to teach him braille he can't read braille. The problem is
that he has a rare form of Dyslexia where he can't mentally associate
sounds with words. Therefore he can't spell nor read because his brain
can't process the written word regardless of how it is written. He
does a lot via voice dictation and voice output because that is the
only way he can communicate via e-mail and other written forms of
communication.
While that might be a rare case. I merely want to bring up the point
that going all gung-ho for braille as the one-size fits all solution
isn't the case for everyone.
Cheers!

What about people who read large print or use a lense or magnifyer? what
about people who are newly blind, have not learnt braille but have a
reader?
really charlse, I don't see why your objecting to having information out
there in multiple formats so strongly.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast
and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even
the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.
