Cool blind Tech just did a story on the braille update which said it would be
an over the air update. That is about all it said. I would love to see the same
kind of on-screen braille input IOS has. But, I know that is a lot to ask and
so many blind people don't like or don't use it.

Hi all,
I sent a query to device-accessibility@xxxxxxxxxx yesterday. I basically
congratulated them on their improving raillesupport and also wondered whether
this support was going to come out independent of an OS update. I also asked
whether they have given any thought to putting some of the web navigation
into the Bluetooth keyboard support, since navigating with the touch screen
in the web browser is still inefficient, in my view. That's comparing it with
an iPhone or even with a regular android device using talk back. So, I got
back a totally incoherent response from someone who claimed to be on the
Kindle team, telling me about how yes it would be really good to have visual
braille or somesuch thing. I certainly didn't talk about visual braille and I
don't think sighted people really want that. The guy didn't address my
questions. English was obviously not his first language, based on the
sentence structure ,grammar, and total incoherence in terms of actually
responding to my questions. Therefore, I wonder if anybody has an address for
Peter Corn, to which I will send my questions followed by the unhelpful on
response. And please folks, I don't want to hear about how it's really hard
to communicate in a second language. I get it. I was a translator for my
entire career. But if you can't do The job, you shouldn't have it.
