So Frances Mary, over to you.
39:18
Thanks, Matthew, and thank you everybody for being here.
39:22
Um, calling in from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it's evening.

So what we hope to learn, as Nick explained, each of these braille literacy surveys targets a s- select part of the overall braille ecosystem as we're thinking of it.
39:40
But individually, the surveys are going to ask about your personal experiences with braille.
39:46
But when combined, this complete set of surveys allow us to get a global picture of braille literacy, of access, uh, of innovation and opportunity.
39:59
So one of the strengths of this project is that we're collecting perspectives not only from people who, who read braille, and we hope to get many, many surveys from braille readers, but also collect information from parents of braille readers, whether they're children or whether they're already adults, uh, braille teachers, whether they are teaching children or adults, uh, and transcribers, whether they work for an agency or a school or have their own business, um, 'cause each of these groups experiences different parts of that braille ecosystem.
