The letter g has dots 1, 2, 4, and 5 – all 4 top dots are full. Likewise, the letter b has dot 1 and dot 2, for the second letter of the alphabet. This makes intuitive sense because a is the first letter of the alphabet. Thinking about the numbering of the dots in relation to the letter's place in the alphabet may help you learn them easier. These letters only use the top 4 dots in each cell.

In the Braille code, the first 10 letters of the alphabet form the basis of all the other letters. A lot of the time it really comes down to practice.Start with the first 10 letters of the alphabet. Most of the time it’s pretty obvious, but not always.

Otherwise you’re going to be putting pauses for the ends of sentences where there is no end of a sentence. It does help to have a slightly better grasp of the material during a situation like this. then when you use your read by sentence command, it will naturally stop anytime there is a punctuation. Replace any punctuation such as commas, exclamation marks, semicolins etc - anywhere where there is a natural pause - and replace them with periods. Sometimes that works better, and other times reading by sentence works better.įinally, and this may be a little more difficult, if you have the time, put your document in a text editor and do a find and replace command. You can do this by line as well if you want to. You need some pauses in between now and then in order to catch up and make room for actual human speech pauses. I also like to use read by sentence commands so that it’s not just reading it to me in an entirely constant stream. As long as you don’t slip up with your mouth, which is something I tend to do sometimes, you may be able to do it this Way. That way, I can be listening to several words ahead while I’m reading. Second, I like to slow my speech down quite a bit. Even if you don’t remember all of it, or even most of it, hopefully you will at least remember the general feeling of it. It is not ideal, and I’m not as good at it as some other people are, but here are a couple of suggestions.įirst, if possible, try to read the material ahead of time. So audio is my primary reading medium, large print second, regular print if necessary, and Braille, well, I can read the alphabet but don’t know it well enough to read whole passages efficiently. This comes up a lot less now, but I did my PhD in linguistics, and did almost all my reading via audio. Longer e-mails and documents, I switch to a screen reader.Įverything else is audio of some form, either my screen reader, or an actual person reading (which I generally prefer the screen reader can get monotonous), although switching to large print for graphs, tables, and in my case, language examples (because the screen reader can’t handle reading non English, nor inter linear glossing in an intelligible fashion). Short texts on computer screens are large print. And the magnifier on my phone has become invaluable for times when I can’t quite manage smaller print sizes. I can read regular print (if I have my reading glasses) in small bursts, which means I can read most menus or forms unaided. r/Blind/about/moderators Subreddits you may like: Responsible for the CSS design and subreddit's Twitter. u/SophiaDevetzi: KC patient and community manager of Keratoconus Group. u/fastfinge ( Twitter, Facebook): Bitcoin lover, science fiction reader, freelancer, and fanfiction fanatic from the colds of Canada.
