I have a friend who has an Orbit and he brings it to chapter meetings to take
notes, and to read from, and its noise is not a distraction.

You can only have one open at a time, but you can have hundreds of tabs

I made a mistake on the language comparison. With a language, one can usually
understand more than they can speak, and with Braille, it is easier to learn to
write than to read.

Greg, a lot of people can understand a second language with greater proficiency
than they can speak it. I believe that it is common for output to be easier
than input.

As someone who learned to use the iPhone at 81, I'd suggest you give Braille a
try. Check with your state rehabilitation office and Hadley to see if you can
get some instruction assistance. Just keep in mind, that it is a learning
curve; you have no dealine; so if it is slow, what the heck?
Hi Fred, I can sympathize. I learned braille when I was 50. My best
advice is to practice, practice, practice! Find a book or choose a
braille magazine that you simply can't put down. What you need is a
real page-turner, and then read it in braille. After that, choose
another! Keep records in

If you think you might want to read much, including books, then a refreshable
braille display makes reading easier and gives you access to all sorts of
electronic material. I'm blind from birth, and I am probably a bit more radical
about this than many people, but I haven't used paper braille
Not only is it possible, but learning something new is good for your brain. I
second the suggestion of signing up with Hadley. Their courses are free.

Hello karuna,
Sounds like you already have a good start! I don't think there are any hard &
fast rules about age & learning. It all depends on the person. And if you
speak more than one language, I think you already have an ability to learning a
new one. Braille isn't exactly a new

There are secrets to the code, really logical keys, that make it easier to

issues that would preclude being able to use it (advanced
Oh of course. All you need to learn is The positioning of six dots or six
fingers in the case of typing. Reading braille fluently could be a challenge
at that age but not what you’re trying to achieve.

The Hadley school for the blind, 700 Space Elm St., Winnetka, Illinois has very
