Hi,
I just wanted to thank the Cleveland Sight Center and specifically Anna who
taught me how to type. I did the hunt and peck for ten years before that.
Anna also taught me braille and made sure that my braille reference guide
program was all correct.

Odd that you mention the number pad. I never used it until I started
working there. Someone asked me why I didn't use it, and I said that I
didn't use it because I just never had worked with it before. Over my lunch

Hi Charles,
As to your first point I think it is a combination of issues. One of
them being education. Yes, it is true a lot of younger blind people,
particularly millennials,who don't read braille and may not know how
to spell well due to a tendency to rely too much on speech software.
However, e

Yeah, I don't know how long the hunt and peck method of input will
last either, but I agree with your point that for those sorts of

Hi Tom.

Part of it is due to texting so often. In the case of blind people, I think
a lot has to do with not reading braille and just relying on speech. They

My Father was not a good typist at all, yet he made good money. He was a
heavy duty construction machine operator for over 20 years in Phoenix,
Arizona, an. This shows that everyone does not need to be able to type or
to have a computer education to make a living, even in today's society.

Hi Kara.
what I meant is that most sighted people do not naturally touch type, they
look at the keyboard and push individual keys with a couple of fingers.
