I had fights with teachers from the time I was in first grade because I
read braille left-handed and did other things right-handed, it all
started in arithmetic when in order to keep up with my class I was
reading left-handed and doing a cube slate right-handed. I can read
numbers and my watch with my right hand and that is about it.
I broke my left collarbone in 1997 and had a difficult time reading
braille, could only read about two pages at a sitting, until I started
keeping my hand still and moving the book or magazine with my right
hand, still, I read mostly with cassette in the first several weeks.
Using the Optacon was easy if I could get everything set at a level that
was comfortable, unfortunately, my desk at work was a problem, too high
for the injured arm most of the time.

I use my left hand to read the optacon display, and I also use my left
hand
to read braille. I have never used both hands to read braille even
though I was
taught to read that way. When the teacher wasn't watching or when I was
on my
own I read with my left hand and that's how it has remained.
