20230722 Doing Braille Digitally

20230722 Doing Braille Digitally Originally Broadcasted July 22, 2023, on ACB Media 5 It's hard to believe, but this event has been going on for a little over a year! In honor of the first anniversary of this event, we went back to a topic we visited in one of our first episodes. We discussed everyone's favorite ways to use digital braille. IN a year's time, it's possible that some regular attendees have changed the way they use braille or have found even more uses for it, and we have also had a lot of people who are attending now that were not when we first started, who we would love to hear ideas from about how they use braille!
