How might you use braille at university, and what funding is available to help you get it? Join Connor Scott-Gardner to find out! Connor has experience as an advocate, DSA assessor and university…
Matthew HorspoolHostSingle line Braille display, think Brailliant's, Focuses, that, that type of thing.
Um, and y- you know, you might think, "How is that useful in a university environment?" And we will kind of move on to that later on.
Um, there's also Braille-related software which you could need, which might include things like Duxbury or BrailleBlaster.
So that, that's a really whistle-stop tour through the kinds of Braille-related technology you might want at university.
The reality is you are unlikely to want or need all of these things in the list above.
Now, some people will say, "But I do want all of these things," and that is absolutely fine.
I would say that there are some courses where actually you could benefit from a, a significant combination of these pieces of hardware and software.
Other people will say, "Do you know what? Actually, I just want a single line Braille display, but don't care about anything else, don't need anything else," and that is also fine.
