Hi, Michelle! I've been using my Braille Note for voice-over work for
years. In the studio, it doesn't pick up the clicks at all, not even with
the Empower, which was a bit louder than the Apex. For home recording, I
recently discovered that I can sit at my computer desk, put the Braille Note
on the keyboard stand, and scoot my chair as close to it as I possibly can.
I've done this with both the Braille Note and hardcopy Braille... No one can
hear clicks or fingers flying over the page! <Smile> I know some people do
the listen and read thing, but it's difficult for people who are proficient
Braille readers! Also, do you read with auto-scroll? If you can manage to
get the scrolling speed right, that feature can be quite helpful with those
clicks! The blanket thing may work too, if you can find a way to keep it
from restricting your hand movements. No worries, there are definitely
work-arounds for this! Hope this helps!

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
