[Blindtlk] Grade 3 Braille

[Judy Jones]

Oh yes, my whole college career notes plus first couple of jobs used the 
slate and stylus.  I could keep up with my driver as she handwrote, so is 
pretty comparable.  I also keep an emergency slate/stylus in a spiral 
notebook at work, and a couple of times have had to resort to it.  So 
thankful for old embedded skills that come back to life quickly.

Chris,

I found Grade Three braille to have its greatest advantages when I was 
writing on the slate and stylus.  I think that with Grade Three Braille I 
was able to take notes as quickly as anyone with a pencil.  I did not
find it as advantageous on the Perkins brailler, though, because my writing 
outpaced my ability to think of all the Grade Three rules.  I suspect the 
same would be true for me on today's notetakers, although I
suppose with enough practice it might have helped me there, too.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
