That's why I still say that hardcopy braille is the best solution. You read
it yourself with no special equipment. Most blind people do, or should
learn to, read braille, just as most sighted people must learn to read
print. If health issues prevent you from independently reading braille,
that's another matter. Maybe an HTML document should also be provided.
Most of the problem that blind people don't read braille is the attitude of
professionals who say, and I have personally heard them say this, "Why
should they learn braille when computers have screen readers?" I ask them,
"How about doing away with printed material altogether, and provide
everyone, sighted or blind, with a screen reader? If sighted students are
required to learn to read, why aren't blind students?" They don't have an
answer.

Hi Charles:
Perhaps something like Daisy might be the answer. However, companies
have to be made aware of the technology, and of course you still have
to have the technology for reading Daisy documents. In some cases that
is more proprietary than the method I suggested since not everything
can play/read Daisy documents.
However, here is the got'cha. If you need a braille display to read a
Daisy document how is that different than using a braille display to
read a document in html, text, etc?
Cheers!

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.
