@@JB-324there are various accessibility options in (certain) phones. For some people they would need higher contrast, for others bigger letters and there are options for reading outlook texts.

Wow you're right, it's almost like everyday things that are really easy for non disabled people require much more effort for disabled people 🤔 if only we'd tried telling people that before!
I remember this tool being discussed in Little House On The Prairie but I never really understood what it would have looked like until now, thanks for sharing!
Funnily enough, as a sighted fellow I became one way illiterate. I can use a slate just fine but i just never got the hang of reading. So i only remember the mirrored braille!
One thing you need to remember though when using a slate and stylist is that in order for your braille to come out correctly you need to write each word or letter backwards. So if you were going to write the word knowledge you would write dots four and six instead of one and three. Also a braille eraser does work well, but it doesn't completely erase everything. The original dot or dots are still there. They are just pressed down and if you do not erase correctly, you will still be able to feel the mistake. I know when I was taking this course in college on how to read Braille with your eyes and write it our teacher told us that we were not allowed to erase anything. If we made a mistake, we had to discard the entire piece of paper and write it all over again.
I went to Highschool with a blind person. She used a Braille Computer in class and took notes with that. They are pretty expensive. If you want to learn more about them you can look up Braille Computer and you'll find them.
I would say iphone or ipad. In the accessibility settings you can turn on braille input. It supports both contracted and un-contracted. Used in conjunction with a bluetooth earpiece to hear the talkback or voiceover from the phone or tablet, it’s probably the most cost effective method outside of purpose built braille computers. Android on the other hand still felt a bit clunky the last time i tried but it’s finally almost caught up to apple’s accessibility features. If electronics aren’t an option, slates also exist in other line variants. I’ve seen whole page and index card slates in addition to the more common four line slates shown in the video here.
My fav braille tool was a typewriter. The keys had braille and when you hit a key, itd punch in braille similar to how this punches it in (not blind, selective mute, the class kinda assumed all mute kids would also have blind kid issues, which isnt correct but still had some neat info)
I’m sad because my uncle never had the chance to learn braille and go out because my grandma treated him like a baby.I love him so much and help him every day when he needs me but he could have had a better life, maybe a wife and maybe I could’ve had cousins from his side .
I have a full A4 sized one, really useful. And I didnt know there were erasers!!! that would be really helpful, specially back when I started. Making a mistake and having to start over is not fun! haha
Ahh I saw that a few times way to tedious I’ll stick to a Brailler XD (btw I am half blind with no sight in one eye and I’m near sighted in the other. I went to a school for the blind/visually impaired for grades 5-9)
This is cool. Though I wonder, repeatedly punching braile into the same paper will eventually create permanent holes in it right? Has anyone tried how many times the same sheet can be used for taking notes?
It definitely seems like it’s hard to use and those little tiny spaces that you have to write in seem really hard and one question I do have is is this for a blind person to use or does a sided person use it for the blind person?
I actually took a test to see if I would be able read Braille I was taught the alphabet I was taught to how to feel for what I’m looking for and I cannot tell the difference running my finger from one bunk to 2 months. I cannot feel the difference and I cannot feel the difference between one bunk and four button, unless I directly compare 1 bump to 6, so I cannot tell the difference between far too many different variations of how many bumps, and where they are failed, and in many cases, I can not even feel any anything
It may cost a bit but getting a braille writer or as my teacher calls it a braille typewriter makes life much easier
Wait how are you typing this if you’re blind?
@@JB-324 there's special settings on phones that will read things out for you when you tap them, so they could be using that
I always thought braille was read from right to left
I don't know where I got this notion from, but I think early gradeschool..

Brailled keys? @@JB-324
This is a great physical representation of what disabled people mean when we say "everything you can do, i can do with twice as much effort"
What makes you think that disabled people can do everything a normal person can? 😂
I love this😂
Twice as much effort is really underselling it I feel
i can't even read backwards and blind people have to write backwards
Holy cow ot seems like it would be incredibly difficult to use that slate. To have to do everything in mirror image seems very difficult to learn
Depends. I’ve written with « reverse » scripts and it wasn’t that bad, you just need to get used to it, and it’s fairly doable in like a day.
That definitely seems like twice the work.

@@HyperfixatationIncinstead of these terrible work around hand them a recorder.
@@fabulachimeric1651you can see though I assume
Idk why I’ve never thought about a braille eraser before, but good to know they are making it so VI people have everything a sighted person can!
This is very cool! I kind of memorise grade 1 braille and I’m very interested in it.

This seems so incredibly cumbersome, i can't imagine is a particularly efficient way of taking notes.

What are the best tools for taking notes during a high school class?
Would these work on a notebook, for example?

Scream at the top of your lungs for hours on end. That might work

I never knew braille erasers existed… genius!
I hope they had braille typewriters at some point to make this easier
I remember using these I gave up on brail after getting out of school
Bless these people for this invention

i used those things when i was learning braille!
Seems like it would be pretty slow... You showed a Braille typewriter before right?
🤯 in reverse! That sounds like a nightmare!

This is super interesting to me!
Hold on what!?! So all this time my blind friends been doing this? That’s pretty fuckin cool.
It's easy because you can clearly see what you are doing with those tiny holes
How do you prevent the pressure from the covers erasing the braille
A blind touching the erased braille:
"This text is a bit transparent"
One time, i give my blind friend chess grater as present.. endup, he said the story is just savage
It definitely seems like it’s hard to use and those little tiny spaces that you have to write in seem really hard and one question I do have is is this for a blind person to use or does a sided person use it for the blind person?
I've never actually thought about the fact that blind people need to take notes too.
Is it considered bad hygiene if you poke a hole accidentally? Or is it nothing really to sweat about?
Natalia DESTROYED W4 jesus christ
Yeah they just need to look very close to make sure they punch the right hole

How easy or práctica is this device to use? Is it easier for a blind Person to use other Tools to write down something or is this Tool very popular?
No. That metal plate is brand new bulbulator
Wow
Why am i getting these braile videos , am i going blind ?😂😂
Ima go erase all the braille books at my library now
I swear i did my homework teach
Me with the brail eraser in the back
This is how I write Braille on paper.
Learn braille, keep it visible on your school notebook and use it as a cheat sheet. No one would suspect what it is.
It seems like more work than just studying.
Learning braille to cheat on exams❤❤❤
How rewritable is the paper after?
How do brail books not get messed up if only force removes the dots?
They aren’t published using this method they are much sturdier. Pressure over time would erase this but not a book
We really need to figure out a better system. I've always thought braille sucked.
Having to take notes backwards 💀
Where are blind people sent when they’re arrested?
To a braille cell. I’ll show myself out
The channel that’s is surely “not” made for blind people.
Wouldn’t your finger also erase your notes over time?
Much less pressure from just fingers, o think
Imagine trying to do calculas using brail
Jokes on you, I can still see the erased letters /s
Im still confused about the eraser
It just pushes the little dots back so you don't feel it
So i would write backwards
Im not going to complain about my life today
I can't say if the video is good or bad, I'm blind and didn't see anything
Sorry braille is just bs. No one can read something like that with fingertips idgaf
Who do you red it ?
Do you mean read it? I can explain it a bit if so
@@fresanegra77 I think he meant, how do you read it? But that's just a guess.
@@akunog5143 yeah
So every letter has a certain combination of some bumps in six places. You feel them with your fingers. Basically those bumps are special letters.
Jesus. Not only do you need to read by touch but you need to write backwards too. That suuuuuucks.
Who could keep up with dictation.
Oh, you are blind? That must be really difficult... Here you go, write your notes backwards!
Just use your eyes
No way thats easier or better than recording your lectures..
Too bad the blind person can’t see what they’re writing
Just take voice notes
Gunna erase the braille on everything I see now 💀
Why don’t we just figure out how to cure blindness?
Too bad no blind people can watch this to give their opinion
?? just use english like the rest of us
No lie this doesn’t even seem possible to use if ur blind
