i run a training center and have all my files labelled in braille. i use it to
write agendas, speeches, notes, etc. at home, i label important documents like
birth certificates, my marriage license, and tax forms in braille. its as
important to me as a pencil and paper was when i was sighted. being able to
find things when you need them makes life much easier.

I wish I had learned braille years ago. Most people that I know who
are gainfully employed are also braille literate.

To All:
I am currently enrolled in the NFB Braille Transcription program and
have just made it to the halfway point in my lessons. In some of the previous
messages, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of the lack of braille
literacy and fluency. However, I also have another issue. In order to be any
kind of teacher in the field of disabilities, you have to have a teaching
certificate. And maybe I am putting the cart before the horse in taking the
transcribing course because I do not have a teaching certificate. But I have
been in touch with a number of public schools in my area and they are
interested in utilizing my skills, once completed, in the classroom. So, in
the words of Jesus Christ, "fear not." There is hope; as long as I do not run
out of Tylenol because learning braille is a challenge, at best. It is like
learning English all over again. Jerry
