[blindlaw] [blind law] Best Recent Developments, Technology

[Sy Hoekstra]

Oh right. I don't use braille, so I always forget about that. And the huge advantage of a keyboard over siri is you can actually type anywhere you are, as opposed to speaking out loud to siri, which I only ever want to do when I'm alone because it's just so weird to text out loud in public.

Also, I'm still a student, and I like to be able to sneak my headphones out of my laptop and into my phone and text in class, haha.

Well, you can always use Siri… And I think I actually prefer using my braille note apex as opposed to a Bluetooth keyboard… I know this is a luxury many of us can't afford, but I love being able to type and access my phone with a braille display from the same device.
