Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue I went to a mainstream school. I was taught spelling right along with everybody else, and I was a quick study. I began with grade 1 braille, was asked at first to use it on spelling tests, but in grade 3 or 4 (about the age of 8 or 9) I made the argument

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Hi. I speak Trinidad Creole English which is a bit different to normal english but i can speak the queen's language. I think most english speakers have this problem. If you have a little sight, I recommend looking at prints that you can identify, for example

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Yeah, the contractions-as-explanation-for-misspelling thing always bugged me, because I was not allowed to use contracted words on spelling tests. But the only time I had both spelling tests and an electronic means of doing them was part of fifth grade

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue IMO part of the issue too isn't what you learn on but how you are taught, or in other words: Are your teachers actually any good?I mean, My English teachers never flagged me up for my spelling, but it's got worse but I don't really care long as people know what

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue If you want a nice cheep braille option, depending on you're budget, i'd go for a brailliant bi 14, it's only about 900 dollars, and it works great. Great keyboard, nice display, etc. There are also some nice 500 dollar ones, i can't think of the name of one

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Braille isn't as readily available to folks as it should be. thousands of dollars for a good Braille display these days just so you can read modern formats in Braille? Give me a break. Not to mention an embosser is another large chunk of change. URL: https

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue thank you all so so much for the help, and options and advice. Seriously these things really seem obvious but I never really considered how important it could be to do them all at once. I am 25 and going for my political science degree, so yes I most definitely

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue @18, that's news to me. I would've never guessed that! Yes, English is trickier among other languages because of its roots spreading across multiple other languages. It isn't like Spanish or any of the romantic languages that you can spell almost perfectly

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue So, this is my situation: English is also my second language. However I grew up in the US, in which the main language spoken is English. I'd like to think I gained a level of native fluency due to my exposure to English throughout my life. To clarify, I was born

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue I guess listening or feeling the morse code in high speeds is in a way kind of similar to listening your tts in a very fast rate. When sighted people hear my screenreader, they often ask me, how the heck can you understand it. Then I explain to them that I have

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue I like the idea and would even like to explore it myself (the Morse code project). Many probably think it ore of a novelty kind of thing, Morse code, I mean, but integrating something like that with haptic feedback would be pretty cool. If it were

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Well pulse rates can usually be adjusted for haptic or audio feedback, and experienced telegraphers can read up to 80 words per minute, so "slow" and "tedious" may be a bit subjective. But yeah, if Braille or TTS are available it would b

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Morse code would be too slow and tedious. Apart from what was mentioned here, actually retain what you have had to get corrected, either through a spell checker, or some jackass pointing and laughing. Like, put in the effort to remember the new spelling and you

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue I do this too, and i've found no viable solution for it. I think part of my spelling is because of how reliant i used to be on braille contractions, and now that i almost always use a qwerty keyboard, i'm not used to having to spell out all the words. URL

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue @7, interesting, but seems far more tedious than the other two options, and I'll assume OP is capable of using both Braille or TTS. Not sure how practical that would be for a person is already struggling with spelling. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue @6Mmm, not necessarily. Another option besides TTS or Braille might be Morse Code, which can translate through audio or haptics. Recently Google implemented a Morse Code accessibility function with Gboard that works on Android and iOS [here], though i'm not sure

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Braille aside, I do think this will be an approach of habit. Reading Braille for us is the equivalent of sighted folks reading print because you're quite literally physically engaging with the literacy. Not that this can't be done with screen readers

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Yeah, thirding Braille. Words I've actually laid hands upon I tend to spell correctly, while words I mostly just hear online tend to get mangled unless I specifically check the spelling.One thing I have been doing lately is just asking Siri how to spell things

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Well, I guess your best bet would be to start reading written braille either traditionally on paper or on a braille display so you can subcontiously learn the correct spelling, if you read enough, it will come automatically.Greetings Moritz. URL: https

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue

Re: Blind Misspelling Issue Autocorrect? In all seriousness, though, I would advise you narrow it down to groups of words that give you the most trouble. If you're writing jurnal (without the o) and not journal (with the o), I'm sure you struggle with words containing "ou." Focu
