People who would write with a stylus would write backwards. I find that disorienting. What really amazed me was when I went to India many years ago to stay there for six months at a blind school I used a Perkins Brailler to transcribe for them but everyone said to me that they did not know how to use a perkins. The speed of a stylus for them was amazing. I know the world has moved on as that was 36 years ago. Can you all imagine that, how life has flown by. I bet blind people in India are proficient enough to use an I phone and computer, those who are privileged enough to have gone to school as there are probably many blind people still begging from the poor villages in poor areas. > On 17 Sep 2016, at 15:59, Donna Goodin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Well, my second attempt was a little better, but it's still slow.
