I use several different devices to write Braille. Sometimes I use a device called a Braille writer, which is kind of like a small typewriter. A Braille writer has nine keys. Six of the keys are used to form the Braille letters or symbols. In addition, there is a line-space key to move to the next line on the paper, a backspace key, and a small space bar. Sometimes I also use a small device called a slate and stylus. The slate consists of two strips of either metal or plastic that have been hinged together. The top strip contains several lines of grooves for the Braille dots. The paper is placed between the strips of the slate, and the stylus, a pear-shaped piece of wood with a thin metal "pointer" attached to the smaller end, is used to punch the Braille dots onto the paper. Most of the time, though, I take advantage of modern technology. My favorite method for writing Braille is to use my computer, which is equipped with software that translates regular print into Braille, as well as a Braille printer, so that I can have a Braille copy of a file when I need it. When I'm on the road, or if I need to take a quick note, I love using my BrailleNote, a Braille PDA which allows a blind person to write and edit documents, keep track of appointments and addresses, check e-mail, surf the internet, and more.
