Kirk Adams argues braille is not an enrichment activity but literacy itself, and that the right principle is not braille or technology but braille and technology. Then he fact-checks his own side: the familiar 10% claim rests on a 1979 report, and the 90% employment figure on a 1996 study of 74 adults.

I have now begun The Citadel of the Autarch (The Book of the New Sun 4) by Gene Wolf in #Braille, and read the first 4 chapters. This is the final novel in this tetralogy, which I started reading in mid May.

All #braille readers and others who work with braille: I urge you to take the Global Survey on Braille: Literacy, Access, and Innovation! The survey seeks to gather information about global trends in braille literacy, access to braille, and familiarity / usage of tools and technologies that support braille. Feel free to spread this far and wide, also. Read more and take the survey by going to https://tiny.cc/braillesurvey #BrailleLiteracy #TouchReader #Accessibility

Résumé ... Le système #braille en kabyle ou le #kabyle en braille.

Le 07 août 2024 j'avais posé une question à @Taflelli

Le 20 août 2026 : un brouillon de spec est en cours de rédaction afin de poser la question de l'inclusion et de l’ #accessibilité en #kabyle et pourquoi pas créer un convertisseur "non pas Kabyle-latin Tifinagh" mais *Kabyle-Braille*

Ich lerne heute für ein Leben, das ich noch nicht kenne. Braille lesen und schreiben. Mit dem Langstock sicher gehen. Computer ohne Bildschirm bedienen. Wege finden, ohne sie sehen zu können. Kochen, Ordnung halten, reisen und arbeiten. Vor allem muss ich lernen, meinen Augen immer weniger und mir selbst immer mehr zu vertrauen. Das macht mir Angst. Natürlich. Aber Erblindung bedeutet nicht das Ende meines Lebens. Sie bedeutet, dass ich lernen muss, es anders zu leben. Hoffnung ist in meinen Augen genau das: weiterzulernen, niemals aufzugeben obwohl die Welt dunkel wird. Für mich.

Someone mailed me some raised print books and, while I am an adult Braille learner/beginning reader, I can read raised print a billion times faster than Braille. This is fantastic! I tried learning contracted Braille, what we used to call Grade 2, but I am at the point where I will remain, I believe. I'm comfortable with grade 1. Uncontracted Braille. I still say, if you can learn Braille as a child, do so. If you have a blind child, put them in Braille classes. They will thank you later even if they protest now.

I get why Braille is prefered. Vastly easier to produce, especially digitally, but I wish places such as the NFB understood that I learned to read in another way, and Braille might not be viable, frankly.
