Put it this way I am most productive with both. When reading programming
manuals or other manuals I can get through it a lot faster with speech. When
having to read code for programs thoe if it gets involved with any type of
complex stuff its a lot quicker to read the code in braille instead of
looking at each line 4 times with speach but this is just me and I know htat
others might be different. This is my last and only contribution on the
thread.
