I was just wondering if they make brail screen computers for blind people anyone know???
There are a variety of computers peripherals and software designed for people who are blind. A person who is blind can use a computer just as easily as a person who is not if they are able to read Braille and almost as well via voice. The problem lies in the people who create websites which may not be accessible to the assistive technology the person has.
The screen itself is not different – although a person who is blind may prefer to use a touch screen.

I worked with a guy who is totally blind. He is a claims rep at Social Security who uses a computer with a device attached to it so that it "talks" to him. It takes him forever to get anything done but it works.

Jake: I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
Anyway, thanks for asking this question, I have wondered about that too!
