I'm not blind, nor do I have anyone in my life that is. Seeing this video randomly pop up in my feed made my day, though. I love that there are people out there dedicating themselves to improve accessibility for everyone.
But it reminds me of a point someone once made. Sure braille is great to have for blind people, but how are they supposed to find that braille? Literally everything they find or collect has to first be given or guided to them by someone else. I see braille on the number plaques inside an office building, but if a blind person enters that building (assuming they made it correctly there in the first place, and on purpose) are they supposed to feel along the walls for 20 minutes, bumping into lamps and chairs, just to find those plaques to read them? Same with the braille tags: someone has to buy those for them, someone has to tell the blind person what shirt goes with what label, and worst of all, the blind person doesn’t have the ability to “desire” to wear a certain color or be able to intuit what feels right. Sure they are likely to be told what colors go well together and what colors are appropriate for certain seasons or occasions, but all of that is yet again done by someone else, and negates the need (or efficacy) of labeling the colors of the clothes.
Not everyone is 100% pitch black blind. You can be blind enough that reading is impossible without braille, but still navigate and walk places. Asking employees for help, directing you to whatever thing has braille on it.
@@Luschan but when asking employees to help you find braille, they may as well just inform you of the information that is contained in braille. Probably 99 times out of 100, the info contained in braille is less than a sentence, and usually a single phrase or word. The helper might as well just answer whatever question they have, such as “where is room 207”, or “what floor am I on”, or “whose office is this”.
@@davidswanson5669 Not if they’re using something like an ATM. Also, a legally blind person can recognize something like a bathroom door by the color and placement of its distinctive sign, but be unable to distinguish between the male and female symbol. That’s why you’ll see braille on the sign. I mean, I agree that braille “out in the world” probably isn’t a perfect system. But it has a purpose, and it’s not as pointless as it seems.
@@davidswanson5669you du realise that most legally blind people have some vision left? I don't know the exact percentage, but iirc it's pretty high. Also, even if someone needs help to put these colour tags on their stuff at first, it still then gives them the option to not need help with colour matching their clothing after that. And do you think just because they can't see it, people wanna dress in black and white or something like that exclusively? I for sure wouldn't. Many people also still do have a minds eye and the ability to picture what their stuff looks like in their head, so while they might not see it, they can still have a good idea what they're wearing
I'll never forget encountering a lost blind man trying to get to the hospital. He was crossing the street at the wrong angle, and cars just swerved around him. No ine would help him. We got out my Lyft and tried to help him. Lyft refused to drop him off at my expense. My cousin and I walked him to a train station.

I feel like that writing guide could help a lot of people. I had trouble with spacing as a child, so my mom got me graph paper to write on and each letter went in a box, and there was one left open between each word, it helped.
reminder to the many many misinformed folks Im seeing in the comments: not all blind people are completely and absolutely sightless. There are different types and severities of blindness and visual impairment. some blind folks can still see in a limited way, and that doesn’t make them not blind. blind doesn’t mean always completely and fully unable to see.

I think you’ve just solved a huge problem in my life. Thank you, like really thank you. I don’t have low vision all the time. I struggle with vision frequently as a consequence of pain build-up, and I’ve been trying to find ways to write because it helps distract me. I think you’ve just saved my life.
There are lots of good plastic overlays to guide your writing for many things from checks, packing labels, to paper, some can even be made for signing legal documents. I got some of my writing guides from Amazon and another from my local commission for the blind low vision store.
Those writing guides were also used back in the day for sighted folks before the advent of the printing press, if I’m correct on this. Paper was expensive, so scribes developed such tools to minimize mistakes and waste. Especially given all that intricate ornamentation they did on the margins back in the day… man I would be pissed if I spent all that time just for it to be thrown out because my last line was askew
It's possible, but seems unlikely. You obviously don't do calligraphy, or you'd know that writing in a straight line isn't a difficult thing to do, if you've practiced enough. Did it ever occur to you that they might have done the calligraphy first, then illuminate the page? Think about it.

Remember y’all, blind does not mean pitch black. Most blindnesses are a partial vision impairment, instead of one’s entire view, and blindness usually is more so a blur in vision, not a black blob in your sight.

Yep, there are totally different degrees of blindness. Some people are just very visually impaired, some people can only see lights and shadows, and some people see nothing at all
Yep! A very low percentage of blind people have total and complete lack of vision. The rest of us have varying degrees of residual vision with some type of blurring or distortion and often times multiple variations of both. That’s an extreme oversimplification because there are at least hundreds of blindness causing conditions and that’s not even accounting for physical injuries. Being visually impaired is still blindness even if it’s not severe enough to be recognized by the government.
I love learning about gadgets for the disabled, it’s the best and purest form of innovation humanity has to offer and it must be life changing to the people they’re designed for.
I hope one day ppl learn that blindness has varying degrees and not everybody sees total darkness. With some ppl its like trying to see through foggy plastic so you can see lights and shadows and color but its incredibly blurry so you cant see details and anything far away it completely blurred out
@umuclaudiusyeah like if someone was trying to help someone that is blind to correctly tell them what color something is having the tags would be nice because then they both are on the same level
Also some people fall somewhere in between were reading requires incredible effort, ok for installing em, but than just much easier to use the braille in day to day.

But again social media has shown me that there isn’t anything to be afraid of and you can still have a normal and independent life being blind. I’m so glad people put out all of this information so we’re all a little more well informed and educated. 🖤

This is awesome! I don’t have any similar disability and neither does anyone from my friends and family, but I’ve always been interested in the different ways people thought of to get around and/ or communicate.
My dad had a friend/coworker who was completely blind since shortly after birth. (He was a premie and the incubator(?) he was in had too much oxygen and burned his eyes.) Learned a lot from him, like trying to wrap my head around never having seen color and trying to explain it to him. He apparently enjoyed my dad's teasing because he treated him like a normal person and not with pity. But my dad would do what was needed to help accomodate his needs, too.
This makes me wonder, who invented this kind of stuff? Did blind people invent it? Did other people that wanted to help blind people invent it? If it was someone that was blind or becoming blind, that’s impressive! If it was somebody else wanting to help out, that’s wholesome.
All these situations can happen, blind people inventing things to help themselves because no one else will, or people that want to help someone close to them that is blind, or even people that just want to help others.
Seeing stuff like this reminds me my life could be much more difficult. The people that developed these methods and devices should be taught about more
Not blind -- sighted with myopia -- but I love this. Given the fact I'm nearsighted and have adapted to rely on color and silhouette over detail when using sight, combined with the fact my adhd causes objects to blend in with one another or the background, I rely on touch greatly as a more accurate sense and would benefit from these delightful tools. I do want to learn braille so I can read with my favorite sense -- to touch poetry? Elation!

I got this video right after a video of Blind Surfer talking about urinals 😂
This is awesome! I don’t have any similar disability and neither does anyone from my friends and family, but I’ve always been interested in the different ways people thought of to get around and/ or communicate.
the writing guide would've helped me with dysgraphia at school so much :o
I’ve been blind all my life good to see some new inventions to help me out
I didn't even think about this. People are so smart!
The last one is so awesome. Those labels must be really helpful for completely blind people.
I never knew about any of these items. So simple, yet effective.
All are marvelous inventions
I was always too afraid to ask how vision impaired people got dressed, this really shed some light on it.
this is actually so cool though, i'm so glad things like these exist
That writing guide would be a great item for shows that let people guess what use a certain "mystery" object is intended.
Very good stuff! Was a bit surprised to find out that checks are sill in use in some places 😮
My dad had a friend/coworker who was completely blind since shortly after birth. (He was a premie and the incubator(?) he was in had too much oxygen and burned his eyes.) Learned a lot from him, like trying to wrap my head around never having seen color and trying to explain it to him. He apparently enjoyed my dad's teasing because he treated him like a normal person and not with pity. But my dad would do what was needed to help accomodate his needs, too.
I love this video. I can use all these wonderful assistants.
That writing guide would make drawing the squares for hand-drawn D&D battlemaps so easy! It's super cool!
Look for purpose-made templates. They exist.
I love this video so much as some one who can. Thank you so much!
the braille eraser has blown my mind!! amazing!!
These are freaking cool. 💖
Some of which would even help the non vision impaired, very cool
Thank you for the video! I've always wondered how people did if they needed to correct Braille.
That writing guide is basically how medieval monks would write manuscripts.
👍 Wonderful initiative you have taken. Thank you.
These are awesome, thanks!
This is all awesome. As someone else said, I probably could use the writing guide; what a handy invention
Thank you SO MUCH for not including annoying background music
Omg… i need that cane light! (I’m fully blind in one eye and the other I’m near sighted.)
This makes me wonder, who invented this kind of stuff? Did blind people invent it? Did other people that wanted to help blind people invent it? If it was someone that was blind or becoming blind, that’s impressive! If it was somebody else wanting to help out, that’s wholesome.
All these situations can happen, blind people inventing things to help themselves because no one else will, or people that want to help someone close to them that is blind, or even people that just want to help others.
Helen Keller used a similar writing board when she wrote all of her books
These tools look amazing.
That paper guide could work for non blind people too! It could help us not make our words go downward while writing
all of these are great ❤️
As a left handed person who also has dysgraphia that writing guide looks very very useful.
Seeing stuff like this reminds me my life could be much more difficult. The people that developed these methods and devices should be taught about more
these are all so cool!!!!
These are all so useful.
Not blind -- sighted with myopia -- but I love this. Given the fact I'm nearsighted and have adapted to rely on color and silhouette over detail when using sight, combined with the fact my adhd causes objects to blend in with one another or the background, I rely on touch greatly as a more accurate sense and would benefit from these delightful tools. I do want to learn braille so I can read with my favorite sense -- to touch poetry? Elation!
These are so cool!
