[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Slate and Stylus

[Dean Martineau]

Using a slate and stylus is an activity that doesn't accommodate itself to
hand pain or hand disorders.  You may not find a comfortable stylus.

There is a mental trick to it.  You don't "flip" braille. That takes too
much effort and would be slow. Rather, when I hold the stylus, which I
hardly ever do any more, dots 1 2 and 3 are on the right, and dots 4 5 and 6
are on the left. That's just where they are. I learned the slate after the
Perkins, but while still young, so maybe that helps, but I recommend trying
to carve out that set of synapses.

Subject: [NFB-Braille-Discussion] Slate and Stylus

Hello,

I just joined this list today and didn't a little looking through the
archives but didn't see anything in the past few months about slate and
stylus use.

Does anyone still use a slate and stylus that has found a comfortable stylus
to use with arthritis or neuropathy?  I'm working on getting my brain to
properly flip braille for a slate but I find that the couple of styluses I
have are hard to use after a line or two.

Take care,  
Tony
