[nabs-l] Typing While Talking

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello Rahul,
I agree with Chris. It is also difficult for me to type, listen to my screen 
reader, and speak to another person.
I would strongly urge you to use a braille notetaker in meetings for notes. 
if not a notetaker, can you get a braille display?
I know you live outside the US, and its expensive, but if at all possible, 
hooking a display to your pc will eliminate the need  to listen to the pc 
screen reader.

If its not in a meeting, you can ask people to stop while you write a few 
notes. Sighted people do this as well.

Also, if you are the only one reading the notes, assuming you know braille, 
a old fashioned perkins brailler can work too.

Good luck.
Ashley

Hi all,

I hope this message finds you well.
I am often required to write a lot of material while I am talking with
my colleagues and to note down the stuff that is discussed in
meetings.
I find it very difficult to hold a meaningful conversation while
working with my screen reader, let alone while typing. This greatly
reduces my productivity.
Are there any tips that have worked particularly well for you guys for
overcoming this challenge?
I look forward to reading your responses.

Best,
Rahul
