[NFBP-Talk] NFBP: Answering the 2020 Census for blind Individuals

[Denice Brown]

OK. I believe it was most likely the number of people using it because a I know a few other individuals who were able to get through the survey, like me, without a problem. Thank you for the feedback.

I read the letter which among other things, was giving me the methods and directions to send in my responses. (I used the KNFB Reader to read the letter with my iPhone.You could also use something like Seeing AI or AIRA).

In the directions from the original letter, I knew that I needed the 12 character ID that was found on the front of the questionnaire booklet. I used Seeing AI to read the characters, and I double checked it by Using AIRA (AIRA is an app which allows you to use a person as a personal assistant). I began the questionnaire on my phone, and I was done in 5 minutes. There were no accessibility issues for me.
