Bob, I don't know whether or not this would help, but there are some banks such
as the one I bank with which has a service that sends statements out in
braille, though for the record, I've learned to read the print statements as
well. A few years ago, I needed to give Social Security some of my print
statements and had to make sure I was giving them the right printed statements.
Also, you might see if your bank offers online banking as that would possibly
be a way to get around all of this. I know several blind people who much
prefer online banking. Haven't taken that step myself, but it is certainly an
option.
