[Blindtlk] Suggestions Needed

[S L Johnson]

Good Morning:

I am writing to my fellow list members to ask for suggestions.  I am totally 
blind and have been using Braille for all my needs since loosing my sight in 
1972.  I have multiple sclerosis.  One of my most annoying symptoms is that 
my fingers are getting very numb and uncoordinated.  This is making it 
almost impossible for me to read Braille and daily tasks are more difficult 
with numb clumbsy hands.  I am seeking ideas for labeling household goods, 
keeping track of user names and passwords,  a new way to manage my phone and 
address file and lots of other things that I normally do with Braille.  My 
other need is a way to read print.  I have been an optacon user since 1976. 
I have open book on my computer but want something more portable.  I have 
considered getting a smart phone so I can use KNFB Reader but what kind of 
feeling and dexterity will I need to use one effectively?  I noticed that in 
the past few days I had trouble answering my home phone because I could not 
feel the buttons.  Even typing on my computer is getting more challenging. 
Any advice and information will be appreciated.  You can write to me off 
list if you prefer and I don’t want to clutter up the list with my needs.
