Hi Steve
I did find the article interesting.
Now even blind people themselves, won't all agree on access issues!
Two examples.
Chip and PIN
Many (strangely not all) blind people insist that chip and PIN
is easier than signing.
So why do we have an option to sign, i.e. chip and signature?
Then we have the issue of Braille hard copy bank statements.
grade 1 or 2 Braille. This choice is allowed.
Just as the choice for chip and signature is also allowed for.
However, not all options are supported by our organisations.
RNIB won't support the idea that sometimes, how Braille
is produced, does make a difference to how easy it is to read.
This is what I mean, not all blind people have the same access
issues.
Some see no issue with chip and PIN But some do!
Some see no issue with how Braille is produced, but some do!

Hi all,
Got this from the Braillists forum and it says all I've been trying to
say for years, concerning involvement of blind people when it comes to
making stuff for us.
