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?

Is it possible for someone over the age of 65 to learn braille? Exploring the accessibility features of my new iPhone, I chanced upon the Braille entry option on the rotor. I tried using it and was amazed at how quickly I could start typing in Braille! It was also fun and fast! Therefore my question-can someone over the age of 65 learn to read Braille? I know that with practice I could learn to type in Braille. But reading braille?? Learning to interpret those raised dots into alphabets at a reasonably fast speed! Is it possible for me? If yes, how should I go about doing it? Should I be buying a refreshable Braille display? Help, guidance or any indication about this would be wonderful! K P.S. I am actually many years over 65! But ladies are not supposed to give their age :-) -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
