How did you think blind people have been using the computer for all these years?<br /><br />There is not that big of an advantage to having multiple lines of braille displayed on top of each other; you can only read one line at a time anyway. And I would imagine it helps if you don't have to move your hands vertically in order to access the next line.Timo Lehtinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689481666881650781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-80821696928657149922012-11-19T13:48:11.941+00:002012-11-19T13:48:11.941+00:00I'm pretty sure it doesn't.I'm pretty sure it doesn't.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-46659468681590291682012-11-19T07:14:35.939+00:002012-11-19T07:14:35.939+00:00Another thing of course is that now we have text-t...<i>Another thing of course is that now we have text-to-speech, and the latest iteration in the Kindle Fire HD is actually really good, I read whole books with it.</i><br /><br />Good to know. I need to try that, one of these days. Was trying to sell my "old" Fire, today, so that I could get the new one. I hadn't even thought of that, before; does the first Fire have text-to-speech capabilities? I don't recall. Must go investigate.TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.com
