Yes,<br>
Often I have a hard time understanding the pronunciation of the
peoples names on the audio and a refreshable Braille Display would
allow me to read the names without having to guess if I understood
it correctly particularly with the background noise. <br>

ideal environment for me personally, would be: if the
machine is in a corner where my back is to the wall and a
wall on one other side. Therefore, the machine is facing
the public. Every time I go the machine is in the middle
of the floor where you have a lot of backgroun noise and
people are able to walk or watch from behind. Yes, one
can turn the screen off so that no one can actually see
how you cast your vote. People naturally want to stop and
look. I definetly, do not want a separate voting site
from everyone just a space where no one is able to invade.</span><span
