For nearly 200 years, the tactile reading system of Braille has enabled
people of all ages that are blind or vision impaired to read and write. Yet
in an age where synthetic speech and audiobooks are widely available, just
how relevant is Braille in the modern world? Where can someone learn Braille
and what sort of Braille products are available to those who read it?
In celebration of National Braille Week and World Sight Day taking place
this month, this episode of Talking Technology explores these questions and
more.
On the show we welcome a panel of guests, including:
. Breda Dowling, Sales and Services staff member in NCBI, to tell us about
the range of Braille products available both in-store and online.
. Greg Flanagan, Prison Officer at Arbour Hill Prison in Dublin who manages
the Braille Unit in Arbour Hill, the only place in Ireland that services and
repairs Perkins Braillers.
Regardless of your prior knowledge of Braille you'll not want to miss this
episode.
