COMPUTERIZED BRAILLE PRODUCTION by J~rgen Vinding Let me start with a question: "Why do we not have very much Braille or why is the amount of Braille-readlng so low?" There are of course many answers to that, but some answers can be given. 1) The number of Braille-readers is small in comparison to the total number of blind and partially sighted persons. 2) The production of Braille is complicated and takes quite a long time. 3) The number of Braille transcribers is small. 4) The number of different titles on books is small compared to what is available to the sighted person. 5) The Braille system itself, taking about Grade 2 Braille, is difficult to learn and use. 6) The speed of reading Braille is slow compared to speed for normal inkprint. 7) Maybe the Braille cell, the dots, should be changed to another tactile cell?
