He said there was one kind that was like pinyin in Braille, and another kind that was just raised characters, which gave a better picture of the character structure. Here's the computer he used to read (including Chinese, I believe; he was a ChinesePod user): 5 Quote
Meng Lelan Posted June 5, 2014 at 11:02 AM Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 at 11:02 AM Oh, that's the HumanWare BrailleNote. I was trained on that during the internship and that thing costs $$$$ Do you have any idea how the guy learned Chinese braille - what textbook, what resources he used? The reason I am asking is a Chinese colleague is going back to China this summer and I asked her to bring back resources for learning mainland Chinese braille, and she asked if I had any title in mind.
