Another reason is that some are unable to use Braille due to retropathy. For me, I am unable to read standard print tho I can read print if it is zoomed up to a bigger font size and the colors are inverted. i've only recently started using text to speech and still find the voices somewhat difficult to understand but am steadily plowing onward. I didn't start losing my sight until the age of 35 and my brain was too befuddled with all the daily living skills to worry about learning Braille when there were other options open to me.
Different strokes for different folks. We all muddle thru in our own way. Let's help each other without making any issue of how we do things differently. Some of us don't know all the options open to us cuz we are coming into the *blind* game later. It is nice to have those who have been at this game longer willing to lean a hand to us newbies!
