[Blind-international-students] meeting

[Info]

Thank You Anmol, this would be wonderful as it would support us in getting the program going to serve more than one individual. If you could send it to my address than I can send it or take it with me in January. Any support in the development of a program for the blind students at the U of Milagro and community is appreciated.

Hello Zully,
I am glad you got a braille writer to take to Ecuador. I was afraid that free matter for the blind is only for US and from the conversations that I have had with my friends it may not be safe to send something like a braille writer through free matter for the blind. This is mostly because the chances of it not getting to its distanation are pretty high with free matter for the blind and something like a braille writer is most likely not worth it.
On a different topic a person wants to give away a Talking Typer . it is a Windows only program that teaches people how to type on the keyboard threw speech.
It dictates letters, and you have to type them.
It has a ton of levels, from letters, to sentences. Perhaps it would be of assistance to a blind individual in Ecuador who wants to learn how to type.
Let me know if you would be interested intaking this. Thanks for your participation and assisting us.

best wishes,
Anmol




I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
