Let me ask my question a better way then. Where are you being recorded. If on
the radio? At the radio station? I ask these questions as I'm trying to figure
out exactly what sort of mics will be used & the best way to reduce noise.

Hi Sean
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I am being recorded. I'll give all your
suggestions some thought. It's so nice to be able to tap into this kind of
community.

Michelle:
I have in my 22 year radio career used JAWS while reading liners, spots, etc
on the air. Now, back in my early years... We'd have someone read them to me &
I'd braille them out on a notecard. Or, I'd memorize them. Or use the notecard
until I had them memorized. Now, I do either memorize them which ain't as easy
now that I'm 40 as it was when I was 20. Or, I still either use JAWS or a
Braille display, or I semply record them & attach them to the end of my news or
traffic report if it is one that I've recorded. Still use JAWS or the Braille
display for live liners or live ads. These are usually short things which I've
read. I have at one time or another done the reading of an article while guest
hosting a talk show using JAWS. Yes, this is a much more difficult task to say
the least. Depending on where you are reading at. I wouldn't be overly
concerned about the clicks of the Braille sense. However not being at all
farmilluar with this device. I can't really speak much further on its clicks. I
will ask this question. Are you reading it live? Or, are you reading it while
being recorded, recording yourself? &, if being recorded, where is this taking
place? I ask these questions so that I may get a better idea as to how to help
you come up with ideas which may work for you. So feel free to contact me if
you have further questions.

Hello List
Does anyone have experience reading Braille while being recorded? I have to
read something on the radio and there's all sorts of concern about the
BrailleNote and the clicks. Now while I can honor that, I'm feeling frustrated!
Everyone wants me to use JAWS and listen and read. I simply have never trained
myself to do so because I'm a Braille reader. If you want a monotone recording,
sure, I'll do that then. It feels like my Braille is always heavy weather for
people. My idea is to put the BrailleNote on my lap and to have a blanket over
my hands like a think one to absorb the sound. I'm planning for my hands to be
under the table. Honestly, this doesn't have to be such a big deal but I need
to honor the concern presented. I know I'm coming across as frustrated but
with all the fancy technology everyone has nowadays, it feels like I'm
tolerated with my Braille which is so not a topic for this list. Yes, back to
recording.
Michelle
