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 language but I think some of the same learning skills apply. I learned Braille as an adult in my 40s. I found it was like learning to type sort of, lots of practice. And although I can read Braille now, I am not fast enough that I would want to try a book. I can get by with menus & other things I need to read. If you have a local vocational rehab, you might be able to learn it from someone there. If not, maybe they can at least suggest somewhere where you could get instruction. You might also just google where to learn Braille or something like that to see what shows up. I think you could teach yourself if you could find a good source to learn from. And, again, you really are already learning it via your phone!

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.
