[NFB-Braille-Discussion] World braille day

[Jen]

A few years ago, I worked as an independent contractor for a business that brailled business cards for sighted people. You had to braille the last line backwards so it read correctly when you turned it around. You took a blank card, brailled the backwards line on it and used that sample for the rest of the cards. I had a bad exoerience in which my boss said my braille was perfect for the order, but the customer gave us the wrong transcription directions and became defensive. Another card job, my boss gave me the wrong insignia for the cards, so I ended up brailling the wrong thing for hundreds of cards. I felt awful.

Me and my favorite device to write Braille with Braille is the slate and stylus and the Braille writer. I like the slate and stylus because I could take it to places like college, the doctor's office, Etc, along with some Braille paper, and practice. Every time I go to college, my book bag has my slate and stylus and a folder full of Braille paper, along with a pair of sleep shades. I also bring one of my braille books to read on my free time before class or going to work. Because of this, I've improved my Braille skills. I like using my Braille writer for making cards for my friends who are blind and practice as well when I'm at home. What makes my college even more blind-friendly is there is Braille on the bathrooms, the classroom numbers, the elevator, the library, and the vending machine. This is great practice with Braille when I can't write it at school. I try to use every opportunity to improve my Braille skills.

introduced an electric Perkins I don't know about. Electric braillewriters
are louder, and you don't have to push as hard on the keys. I personally
don't like them because if you need to write on plastic and press harder,
the electric brailler does not allow that.

I learned braille when I was around 2 or 3 years old. Thanks to the recent
lower-cost braille displays like the orbit reader20, I can participate more
fully in my community by reading in church, thanks to braille. And next
month when I get the braille me display, with its cursor router buttons,
I'll be able to edit easier and quicker with the computer and iPod touch.
After that when I get the electric perkins brailler, that will allow me to
write braille even faster, on paper, than I can with the standard manual
perkins brailler. I am looking forward to having both of those. And last,
I'll be saving up for duxbury braille translator and a braille buddy
embosser so I can get documents and stuff from my computer into paper
braille if I wish, or transcribe small things for people if needed. I've had
my standard perkins brailler since 1987 and it still works great.
