I heard the voice of Anne Sullivan, in a documentary about Hellen Keller.
By the way, although I'm canadian, I, and three other people here have the
Alabama state quarter, with her picture, (Hellen that is), reading braille,
thanks to a member of the American branch of my family.
When Hellen was first asked to promote talking books, she resisted, as they
were of no value to her.
If she were alive today, I hope she would use a braille note!
I wonder if any of the other well known blind folks such as Stevie Wonder,
Tom Sullivan, Ronnie Milsap, or even the guy who was on jeopardy, are smart
enough to recogonize the best technology when they see it! Smile! Now, I
shouldn't get in trouble for being off topic!
As for silent keys, I was at a meetting where someone was using the braille
lite, and I think it hadn't been available very long, and you could barely
hear it.
Using the braille note in public, might be a little louder than a computer
keyboard, maybe even louder than a slate and stylus, but heck, it sure
beats perky!
Back to Ms. Keller, If you go to the afb site, there still seems to be a
lot of stuff there.
As for spoken word recordings, have you ever thought of typing the phraise
into a google search, and see what you come up with?
Re my earlier post on insignifican subject lines, I didn't mean to point
fingers, as I reply to an outdated line as well. I know with me, its
because with so many messages to go through, I don't always listen to the
subject line.
As I said, I think it is just the nature of list traffic as it is done on
all lists.
Linda, who has changed the subject line.
