Because I can't read computer braille, that's all, and I want to know how to, shouldn't take moments to explain to me as I can already read grade two and music well, though I've not used the latter for years.
I think my DBC is set for another countries computer braille as I've tried typing in an email address and website from a braille magazine and my machine tells me it is not recognizable. Any tips I wonder?

Why does she need to be able to read Braille Christine?----- Original Message ----- From: "Christine Weetman" <goatmum@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 05, 2010 4:43 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sales and support staff's knowledage of brailleHi Derek, wow, I've got the DBC from HumanWare and am due a training day with Jackie Hall...I do hope this isn't the lady who can't read braille? I do understand that Martin Griffiths is a braille user as he was originally coming to train me, but unfortunately became unwell...Maybe Stupidly in panic, I asked for a female as I'm no use at listening to a deeper male voice and wondered why I'd ever agreed a male for a whole day training, sure it would have been a huge strain on me--but now, I'm wondering if I've let go of a Really experienced person?I hope you or someone can reassure me I've done the right thing for me?

I understand all you are saying and I was surprised nobody can read Grade 2 Braille. But then just a sec, maybe not surprised! Few weeks ago I had a demonstration by Humanware of a new Package aimed at the deafblind. They call is DBC I think Stands for deafblind communicator. Anyway the lady that gave me the demonstration didn't seem to know Braille! And this caused some confusion! So after that failed demonstration Alan Davis came to me, Not too sure if he knows Braille, but he certainly was far better At explaining what he was showing me. I am now told the trainer will be a guy called Martin (I forget his surname) works for Humanware in UK. A don't think a sighted driver would be happy for a car Salesman to be a non driver, so to a point I agree There is a need for those that sell Braille displays, to know Both grade 1 and 2 Braille. I do not accept the person must be blind, because there are Many sighted people out there that know Braille very well.
