Hello Hazel and all,
when saying they could not provide braille or audio, did you ask for
instructions in an electronic format? Would this have been helpful?
There are blind and partially-sighted people out there who don't have
access to computers. For some of them, especially those living alone,
Braille or audio instructions may be the only ways they could find out
independently how to use the gadget. So, I think that, regardless of
whether you could have offered them a third solution, they need to be
more versatile than this.
Best,
Clive

Well what about electronic instructions. You do not say what the
product is, would that not help those of us reading this? perhaps not,
it is the principle you are discussing. There is presumably print
instructions, surely they can scan that in and make the instructions
available electronically.

Hello to all
Can I run this pass everyone and would like opinions please.
We were going to buy a product from R N I B but did not in the
end go through with the purchase, reason being that they could not give
us audio instructions. nor could they provide braille but that would not
help as we are not competent readers.
This organisation are all too ready to make others provide
alternate formats but don't do it themselves.
We are totally disgusted. surely they should act by example.
Hazel & Kim
