Hi Joan Ann,
Well, I suppose it depends on what you are likely to be using a braille
display for and your braille reading speed.
If you are generally reading long documents, then I think speech is probably
more efficient, simply because few people can read as far as the synthesiser
can talk.
However, if you are doing lots of editing etc then a braille display is very
useful for quickly moving to individual words or letters and for verifying
your edits.
It can also be useful if you want toverify formatting.
Tim

Hi all
I am just wondering how many of you on the list who read Braille use a
Braille display in work and, if so, do you think that it makes it easier
than listening to speech output all the time?
Is it possible to navigate the screen using just the Braille display and is
it as efficient as using speech?
Thanks for any help.
Joan Ann.
