Braillists Foundation, Tuesdays at 7:30 PM

Hello everyone,

Would you like to make the most of your refreshable braille display on
Windows or iOS? Have you heard about Braille Screen Input, but never quite
got the hang of how to use it? Are you looking to learn more about how
braille can be used to make effective presentations and take notes?

If you can answer "Yes" to any or all of these questions, the Braillists
Foundation can help! Over the next few weeks, a series of hour-long Zoom
calls led by experts in their fields will cover all of these topics and
more, with plenty of time for your questions. All sessions will take place
on a Tuesday evening, 7:30-8:30 PM in the UK, and are completely free of
charge.

If you'd like to join us, please register at:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwoceivqz8rGtbEERfYGlXFSR2eIqx-oc
9o

And don't worry - you only need to fill in the form once, and you can
attend as many or as few sessions as you like.

If this time isn't convenient for you, fear not: all sessions in this
series will be recorded and made available at:
https://www.braillists.org/media

They will also be published via our Braillecast podcast - simply search for
"Braillecast" in your podcast client of choice, or ask your smart speaker
to "play Braillecast". We are also available on the Victor Reader range of
DAISY players and the internet radios from British Wireless for the Blind.

For your convenience, a more detailed breakdown of the sessions that might
interest you is given below:

26 January: Using Braille on Windows

Find out how to pair a windows PC with a braille display, which screen
readers support braille output and some tips and tricks for using braille
output.

2 February: Using Braille on iOS

Find out how to pair a braille display with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch
and how to get the most out of using braille with these devices. We will
also introduce you to Braille Screen Input.

9 February: Using Braille as a Presentation Tool

This session will cover using a braille display with Microsoft PowerPoint
and Google Slides. We'll guide you through how braille output works with
these applications and the ways in which braille output can enable you to
deliver more effective presentations.

16 February: Braille for Public Speaking

If you need to deliver speeches for work, school, or as part of one of your
interests, this session will guide you through using braille to present
more effectively. We will cover writing a presentation script, using cue
cards and the best way to set up your braille display or hard copy braille
when speaking.

23 February: Note Taking: Producing Notes for Others

If you are required to take notes as part of a team, whether that's in a
meeting or for group projects, this session will guide you through using
braille to take notes that are also visually accessible. We will touch on
taking notes using a braille display, and writing Markdown in braille to
format your notes.

2 March: Note Taking: Creating Notes for Yourself

This session will look at how to take effective notes in braille for your
own personal use. We will cover increasing your speed when note taking,
ways to organise your notes and the tools that you may wish to use.
