[BlindTlk] What is the Easiest Way to Send Mail and work with Envelopes as a Congenitally Blind Person?

[Ericka]

There’s a way to do envelopes and print them through the computer. I am certain someone here can tell you more. I think it’s through Word. That’s what my husband does. I’m still able to address things for the most part or stick things under the CCTV and fill it out. Hope someone can give you more details Roberto

How do you folks hand-write the sender and recipient information for the envelope or packaging box? Is there a way to print a standard pre-created label, then affix to an envelope? Will USPS even accept that? What about online services that can help with that, such as UPS shipping label creation tool you can just print out?
