<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Stylist listserv members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies for duplicate postings. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Ronald Heisser and I am a PhD student at Cornell University doing research on a new actuator technology for low-cost multiline braille displays. I’m participating in an NSF-funded commercialization program to evaluate the market
potential for products I hope to create with my technology. As part of this program, I must complete 100 interviews in 7 weeks.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am interested in speaking to braille readers in the Stylist listserv to learn about their experiences using braille displays (or not) to write, edit, and read. These interviews are to learn about your pain points, methods of doing work,
and wishes for other technology. I know of the Canute, and also I’m interested to hear about any Canute experience people may have.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have free time in coming weeks, I’d be glad to speak to you for just 15-20 minutes. My contact information is below, please feel free to email or text or call me with interest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
