Hi Jenny, Thanks for that. Yes, Ihave heard of the braille lite before. It seems a wonderful tool to have and I envy you people who can use it. Having come into blindness in my mid-twenties I never really found it in me to learn braille and guess I hav depended on main-stream solutions but find that getting the right gadget can be difficult and expensive.
