Joan Ann,
I would agree with what Tim and john have said. I would add that I use
both speech and braille. if i want to read over something I find
particularly interesting (or curious, even), or for the detail, I may
read it in Braille without speech. When you read an item in Braille you
certainly get a more immediate 'grasp' of what and how the person wrote,
punctuation and spelling.)
If presentation and style are very important, then having Braille to
monitor the work will be a plus. Much also depends on your braile
reading speed, which will be a little or a lot slower on your braille
display (depending on its ease of use and how well you've mastered
navigating with it). As with most things, you will find you get faster
with practice. It is good to have alternatives: so if you can get
braille, then go for it. many displays also have extra keys with which
(thanks to the screen-reader drivers) you can navigate and tab around
lists, tree views and dialogues - with or without speech.

Subject: [vicsireland] Braille displays
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.
