[bcab] Re: text or more?

When I said text is best, please bare in mind that was in my signature file and the phrase text is often best does not quite have the same ring to it. Also I was talking about for interfacing with a computer and I don't think tactile maps are in common usage on computers yet.

Text is good, but is speech recognition better?

For good examples of how text can be used instead of maps see Terry
Robinsons describe on-line site.


Cheers,

The point I was making is that text (where applicable) is best for blind
users. Of course a computer will always have graphics for sighted people
but it will always be easier for blind people to read text rather than
graphics. I don't think maps would be suitable to turn into text although a
flow chart certainly could.

If we believe in justice then why are people in Gwantanamo being held
without trial and probably being tortured?

Hi,

I certainly disagree with the notion that text is best. There are many
times when blind people benefit greatly from graphics, whether it be
understanding a flow chart, a tactile map or countless other things.
Text is often very good, but diagrams can be even more helpful. I
think it very important that people have the skills to read them.

Cheers
Dave
