razzytheorca me too. It's so interesting

and then you can read it in the dark XD

razzytheorca braille

It's a long slow process.

Just start learning then :)

their sense of touch is quite strong .

Amplified sensory

When you're blind, your other senses become stronger to make up for your lack of sight.

The other replies here are wrong. The "amplified senses" thing is a myth, and quite annoying to many blind people who are tired of people assuming they have superpowers. A blind person *relies* on their other senses more, and gets better at using them to navigate their environment. The senses themselves don't get stronger. To put it another way, they don't HEAR better, they LISTEN better. And you have the same sensitivity of touch in your fingertips as a blind person, but you haven't learned to use it as well. A blind person recognises symbols with their fingers quickly the same way you recognise symbols with your eyes quickly - lots and lots of practice.

Agreed! A blind person is equally amazed that we process visual information. It’s like listening to or learning a different language.

yes with practice

I acrually think it's easier to do it wirh only one finger at first

I too can film only my hands passing and read fluently with no stutters or pauses from a real book rofl. what proof do you have that she is actually blind at all?

@@stevenmcsteven6693 she isn’t blind she’s demonstrating how blind people read braille she probably remember what the book says

yeah but the second finger helps with reading flow

Why?

@@whitechocolate1083 so he can hook up with blind chicks, duh

Glgod you sound so boring. Get a life.

Same thing as someone who has sight

*lose >:)

Twenty69 It takes a lot of careful practice. I'm sighted and just starting to learn Braille. I might pass a finger over a single letter or symbol several times before figuring out what it is, and I often open my eyes to double check I'm correct. Make note of which letters and symbols confuse you the most. That way, you can guess when you'e stuck: "Is it one of those that confuses me?" I recommend starting with kids books with uncontracted Braille just to get used to being able to tell what symbols you feel. I've read a Curious George book a few times for the practice. Braille has tens of abbreviations, maybe more than a hundred. For example, "the" has its own symbol, but it can also be used in "then": "the-n". Uncontracted Braille is only the alphabet, no abbreviations (contractions). You WILL want someone there to help you or the text book/writing in text. Young young kids books have typical written English printed in them. An Amelia Bedelia book I found is contracted Braille, but it has text English printed beneath the Braille. Note: when learning a new alphabet, it takes a LONG time to read, but you do speed up with practice. (I also learned how to read Wingdings and some other alphabets, so I have experience with this, haha.) I spent about 40 minutes the other day reading six sentences since I'm so new to Braille.

@@alanaflynn8878 why would you want to learn braille as a sighted person

​@@perperperpen Originally it was because my parents didn't want me to have lights on in the car at night, but I still wanted to read. Once I got an e-reader with a backlight, I stopped. But recently, the reasons are insomnia, migraines, and interest. Insomnia: in theory, leaving the lights off will help me feel tired faster than having the lights on and reading a normal book or watching videos. Migraines: when I get really bad headaches, even opening my eyes and letting in the smallest bit of light can cause pain. As a sighted person, I'm not incredibly capable without vision, but if I could read with my eyes closed, that'd be nice at least. Interest: For the last few years, I've learn to read and write a new alphabet every once in a while. It's just something to do, hahaha.

@@alanaflynn8878 oh ok

It takes a lot of practice. If you watch Molly Burke's videos, she mentions that NONE of the sighted teachers that she had during the two years she spent at a SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND could finger-read braille. She said they got so confused when she used patterned paper and made her stop! 🤣🤣

i feel you. xD

Contracted braille speeds it up a lot, so some braille readers can read much faster than the average sighted person

How are you progressing ?

@@Zakari2 no bad actually. I haven't had much time to read on my own because of school, but I've seen progress while reading in my weekly book club, so that's nice. What about you?

@ZeldaWolf2000 Initially, when I began learning Braille Grade 1, my reading speed was just 20 words per minute. Over the years, it increased to 50 words. But now, since I have learned Braille Grade 2, my reading speed gradually increased from 50 to 90 words, 95 words per minute. Next week, I want to achieve a consistent speed of 100 words per minute in my reading. What about you?

@@Zakari2 that's great with how much you've improved. As for me, I'm not exactly sure. I think I can read about 70, but I'm concentrating both on speed and fluency, so I can read aloud to people and stuff, and a lot of times for fluency you need to slow down, or than I can out loud though. However, I haven't tested what the difference is yet. The 70 is to myself. What about you? How much would you say you can read aloud, versus in your head?

@@ZeldaWolf2000 Silently, I can read 90 to 95 words per minute. But while reading aloud, I convert 75 to 80 words per minute. But my speed can vary. This is my consistent speed. But my pace can be sometimes slower than 75 or sometimes higher than 80. What about you? How many fingers do you use to read?

The only problems after that is how to make the cheating note using Braille writing system

Strange, but i did the same in my final exam, the teacher was so surprised of my performance.

I once worked for a library that occasionally printed things in braille and I can attest that, though it certainly takes more space than print, braille is not that bulky. One printed page usually corresponds to four braille pages, of course the books look considerably larger but that's because of the thickness of the paper used. Additional, braille math takes a crazy amount of space but even then I don't think that one line corresponds to forty.

I know your post is old but others might stumble here... If you look up "braille writing slates" you can really get a visual of writing in braille. Neat and informative stuff. There's a term to describe some fonts: monospaced. It's where each character takes up the same amount of space, whether it's a period (.) or a capital x (X). You'll see that a monospaced font set tends to take up a lot of space when typing lots of text because all that extra space tends to add up quickly. In a way, that's how braille works (*with the exception of the double-block characters used for punctuation).

What?

Prove it

@@hubertsward6020 Ok lmao, you want me to make a video showing only my hands passing trough a book? Nothing literally stops me from reading from a real book and claim i'm using my hands to read that bull sht, would you believe it then?

It is a blind person that has spent their life learning braille tens of thousands of hours and decades of reading braille, it's not bs. You are just ignorant.

@@stevenmcsteven6693 I've seen blind people read braille in real life. No idea if this specific video is real or not, but it is an accurate representation of the method (two hands) and the speed. So it's either a person really reading from a braille book or a very accurate imitation of it.
