    My Grandmother learned braille during world war one.
    She was 10 and wanted to help vets blinded during the war by mustard gas. She parlayed that into a career at the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Watertown Massachusetts where she worked most of her working days.

    Learned how to read braille when I was in the third grade. Had to do something when my vision got to strained to see large printed words. Glad I did, changed my life.

      Dusty Bragg I started learning braille when I was three. My farthest back memory is playing with my Perkins Brailer which I still have. Braille makes reading so much easier! Even though I can read braille, it wasn't really encouraged in my house, so I didn't really use it a lot until I was an adult. I had this realization that, "holy shit Braille is so much easier! Why don't you use that instead?!" And so I did. I mean, I still listen to things all the time too, but my god Braille is easier! It connects so much more with my memory than listening to things. I got a B on a history test because I use that to study instead of listening to all of my notes. I also remember books and stuff a lot better if I read them myself too. I love a great audiobook, but there's nothing to actually reading it yourself.
      What about you? Agree? What's your experience?

      ZeldaWolf2000 I think there must be something to that because I have exactly the same experience with sight reading material as opposed to just listening to it. I take in and remember the content much better when reading and even better still if I read it from a paper page (book) that I’m holding or touching than from only looking at a computer screen

      ZeldaWolf2000 I still prefer audiobooks, especially when it comes the work of fiction. Some of those audiobooks today, have a great voice actors, and sound effects. Still I make plenty of written notes in braille. Honey do list, groceries, and reminders etc. and my wife, who is sited, has put braille labels on all of the kitchen, and laundry room, appliances. I'm no gourmet, but I'm pretty handy with a toaster, and crock pot. Hahaha

    • @ZeldaWolf2000
      @ZeldaWolf2000 6 років тому

      Dusty Bragg Yeah. Audiobooks today, especially from Audible, have really good readers. I especially like ones with sound effects, and/or that are rated by the reader. So cool! I just wish they weren't so expensive. Along with those though, I am a member of Bookshare, and I've started using this app connected to it called voice dream reader which is amazing! It's made for blind and Dyslexic people, and it works perfectly! I mean, it could use some improvement in the features, but it never crashes it, the voices are great, they don't sound computerized which is amazing, and it works perfectly with my display. Also, because there is only one programmer, he actually gives a shit! The thing with my display I found annoying, I emailed him about it, and one month later it was fixed! Now it's one of my favorite apps! I've never had that happen before. Usually, developers don't care about people with disabilities, because were such low profit to them, so to have someone who made this app for us, and cares enough about this one little issue to fix it within a month, just amazes me. Also, with this app combined with Bookshare, all books are free! I mean, it's in the hundred dollar fee for a year, and the app cost 15 bucks, but if you read a lot, totally worth it!
      I use it for school and leisure reading, because Bookshare has quite a large library. I would definitely, if you're interested, getting a membership, and buying voice dream. Great combination. Bookshare.com btw.

    Forgot to mention in my last comment, but another thing that was wrong with night writing was that he didn't use letters. It was all about sounds, so someone without prior knowledge of the written word, couldn't learn it from that system. That was another thing Louis tried, and succeeded, in creating, a system of reading and writing that actually use the letters, so blind people can actually learn the Alphabet.
    Also, although Braille was created using that letters, it has been adapted to Asian languages, and languages like Hebrew as well. Pretty much any language.
    Also, another bonus fact, W wasn't in Louis' alphabet, so he had to add it in later, so the pattern that braille follows doesn't include W. An example of that pattern, is following:
    A is the first letter of the alphabet, and it's only dot 1, which is top row on the left. Then, if you add a dot 3 to that, which is third row on the left, you get a K. A K is 10 letters from A. Then, if you take the K, and you add a dot 6, which is the bottom right, you'll get U, and U is 10 letters from K. If you do this with all of the first 10 letters of the alphabet, you'll get the rest, except for W.
    I didn't realize this until I was like 20, because I just learned the letters, and wasn't told this pattern, but I thought it was really cool when I figured it out.

I was and still am baffled.

    I've always been pissed off that it took Americans until the 20th century to adapt braille. And even once it came to America, it wasn't the official writing system until the 30s I believe, maybe even later. If you Google, "the war of the dots," and find the article by the American Federation of the Blind, you can learn about it. It has to do with three different systems of writing for the blind, including Braille, that were fighting to be the main writing System for blind people in America. One of them had no punctuation, and the other was way too big to be read with one finger, which is what Braille was created to do! There was only one teacher who saw that his students were using braille and thought, "man of my students like this, maybe I should use it too!" And so he adopted it at his school. It was in large part thanks to Helen Keller that Braille was officially adopted by the US. She wrote a letter discussing how difficult it was having three different systems, and how much Braille was better than the others. It was awesome. 😀. It sucks though that today people think that Braille isn't as needed for blind people. Hello! We need to learn how to spell things correctly, and we want to actually be able to read things too! We also like being able to write down our thoughts without technology, just like sighted people can. Anybody who doubts the usefulness of Braille can bite me! My dots!

      People think that not teaching blind people how to read and write is perfectly reasonable; well sighted people can listen to audio books and use screen readers too, so why not stop teaching them how to read and write with those weird wiggly lines?

    • @ZeldaWolf2000
      @ZeldaWolf2000 6 років тому

      Leonetta B We are very lucky. I actually didn't learn until I was 18 that, the reason why my braille teacher was so passionate about me learning braille, even though I have usable vision, is because she has a deafblind brother. She knows from personal experience how important braille is. She knew that, even if I wouldn't use it all the time, that I needed to start learning it early. If I didn't, I wouldn't be as fluent in it, and I might not use it at all. My first memory is screwing around on my Perkins Brailer, which I still have, and use occasionally. I would use it a lot more if those around me knew braille, but my family never learned it. Did yours?

    A general question. Not sure where to ask it. I see that in some video games people ride horses on railroad tracks and bridges. I believe that a horse would refuse to do that, or break a leg trying. So, the question is: Can/do horses walk/run on railroad tracks? I know that it is actually illegal to ride or walk on railroad tracks and bridges because they are the private property of the railroads, but we are comparing reality to the fantasy of horses in video games.

      Dagan Ward I don’t think it’s that they didn’t think about it, but that they were more limited by there technology, there weren’t many mechanical labor forces to make Braille efficiently or even paper for that matter to make it on back then...I’m sure if they had known how to make paper and if Sparta wasn’t so afraid of a slave revolt, then maybe we could have seen something like an Ancient Greek Braille system become invented and widely adopted in the ancient world, but alas, we will never know what could have happened, only speculate at a mere glimpse of an alternative history to our reality.

    Braille is indeed, a form of Runic.
    Part of the tradition of Runic-based written languages is that when inscribed, one can feel the inscriptions and know the runes, which is no different in Braille. Of course, most Runic based languages have their basis in sorcery, in which Braille is doubtlessly an exception. Tactile writing is a very ancient and well-renowned form of expression, but is slowly being phased out of practicality with technology becoming more and more powerful.

  • @lauranolastnamegiven3385

    how is it possibly harder to learn to read embossed versions regular letters with your fingers, than a whole new language of dot patterns? I'd think a formerly-sighted, then blinded literate person, could mentally visualize the letters they already know as they feel them (not to mention that what they're reading would be readable to sighted people, as well, in case they got tired of letting their fingers do the reading, and got someone to read to them), much easier than learning a whole new language of dot patterns, which are nothing like the shape of letters, at all
    now, of course, someone's who's blind from birth would never know differently...anyone know the percentages of people born blind, versus those who go blind?

    • @ZeldaWolf2000
      @ZeldaWolf2000 2 роки тому

      Although most people aren't born blind like myself, the print alphabet is still too complicated to be read with the fingers. Plus, as Simon mentioned, it had to be made much larger to be read with the fingers, making books GINORMOUS. Also, their is no easy way to write with embossed letters. There is also the fact that dots are easier to distinct than curves and lines. All of this combined made embossed letters very slow and cumbersome to use.
      On the other hand, braille not only uses dots, but, unlike NightWriting, is small enough to be read under one fingertip, thus can be easily read and written, along with having, again unlike Night Writing, an actual alphabet instead of just being representations of sound, it was the first (and so far only) REAL writing system for the blind.
      I'm actually using it right now to write this comment. I'm using an electronic braille keyboard paired to my iPhone via Bluetooth. I couldn't live without braille. I use it every day, and it means the world to me. I hope this reply has answered your questions and cleared up any misconceptions. you may have had regarding ,rl vs embossed letters.

    But.....in braile....the letter are FAR MORE SIMMILAR than in non braile.....I've tried before, and the embossed letter way is WAY easier than Braille...even though raised letters are kind of hard to find now days.....but engraved letters work too.

    So it was apparent that Braille's system worked better, but the teachers at the school wanted to stick with the raised letters system, because that's the way it had always been? 'Craze how stubborn people can be.

      That, and they didn't want blind people to be able to teach themselves, because then sighted teachers would out of the job. They needed blind people to be reliant on them to keep their jobs.

    So is braille? The for runner of texting? Before thing like LOL,WTF,and LMAF in texting. I love T.I.F.O.,but I will never watch the Ep. about how the blind know if they are finished whipping. It is known of my business. Like the video.

    Thank you for covering this interesting topic. It's an amazing method, and offers so many many possibilities for blind people.
    I personally would be totally f"cked, though. My fingertips are scared, and especially in the index and middle fingers I have way too little sensitivity left to read those tiny dots.

    • @ZeldaWolf2000
      @ZeldaWolf2000 6 років тому +4

      Elle-Iza Logan You actually don't need your hands to read braille. I heard of a blind man with no hands who reads it with his lips. It's probably bad for his back, but he can still read. Humans are so adaptable! Go humanity! Also, you don't have to use just your index fingers like a lot of us do. You can use any fingers you want. A lot of people use all four, I personally don't, but you can use whichever fingers you want. Also, especially for saving people later in life learning braille, it takes them longer than it does for kids, as does anything. I would give it a shot. Try and read elevator signs, and things like that. You know what they say, so all you have to work at is concentrating on our fingers. Your brain will adapt eventually. It's pretty cool like that. Good luck.

      It would be more fair to say that the US was the last to officially adopt Braille as an official uniform writing system for the blind, because at the time there were multiple systems in play to the point it literally was called The War of the Dots. Great Britain was also in the midst of all the literacy shenanigans.
      Examples of how absurd it got was some systems running about like New York Point, Boston line type, American Braille, and what have you.
