THANKSoooohhhhhh! nope, you definitely need an upward writer so you can read
what you're doing as you do it. Actually, you could use a computer and braille
display to do the same thing, using a text file, if you've got a good shark of
a screen reader!
Cheers
Dave

Hello,
Last night's In Touch has caused me to reflect on the Taylor frame and what
makes an accessibility product obsolete. I remember the Taylor frame from
schooldays and thinking about it, I cannot come up with a product which was
better able to demonstrate the layout of an arithmetical problem. Many's the
sum I've had to calculate using the frame. A calculator may get the answer
right more often than me but it doesn't help in showing how the problem can be
worked out. If we are really to achieve greater numeracy among the visually
impaired, perhaps it's time the Taylor frame made a comeback.
Iain.

This cross posting is so that I can say thanks to people on both lists who
either offered or provided the loan of Taylor frames. All the interest was
greatly appreciated and the frame was put to good use in last night's In Touch.
People might be interested to know that it really did seem to provide the
means by which blind people could tackle Sudoku puzzles. Sadly it is now
obsolete. I'll be returning the frames to those people who sent me them in the
next day or so.
Thanks again.
Ian
