Queen Elizabeth was clearly a lady of great character and qualities. Those will be oft described. But when looking at her life, we must also ponder how she came to have all that power and wealth. Had not Africa's land and people been stolen, might things not look different?

After months of intensified persecution of Bahá'is in #Iran, the government has now attacked the #Bahai youth with 13 arrests. Please spread the word and #FreeBahaiYouth bic.org/news/more-bahais-arr…

I want to convert a Word document to Daisy. I would use the web interface or an app on Windows. I have spent more time than I would like finding and figuring out Pipeline 2 with no result. I'm not incompetent but I feel like it. Any suggestions?

is a very impressive program. Thank you for reading my questions.
Also, I want to create braille documents not for paper, but for my braille display. I only want the line breaks that are in the original document. Can I do this?
have a couple questions about Biblos Braille. First, I saw there used to be a Braille Shorthand translator for English, but I don't find it. Can we get it?
What are good ways to learn about CSR (Commentary Screen Reader) in English, videos, audio, and preferably text? I'm finding lots of YouTubes in other languages, I'm glad they exist, but I'm seeking English.

Happhy World Braille Day everybody! I am grateful to Louis Braille and to the many unsung benefactors who have given me access to the written word, with an ease and power I would never have dreamed possible.

My first tweet with my new handle. I may "microblog" a bit more. As of today, I've cut out all chocolate and most sugar and artificial sweetener. this way, I can see if these substances are causing health problems.
If you have done a comparison, what are the pros and cons of TwBlue and Quinter?

@gennyaxler Am enjoying learning the 6. I may stick with the 32-cell, as it isn't that large. A lot of good thought and design! I wish the macros didn't run in verbose mode, making them very slow to excute.

Oh yeah! Try Florida for pure governmental enlightenment!

Thank you for Biblos. My copy says there is a braille table called Enghish Shorthand. I don't have it. I would like to try it. Can I get it?
I meet the minimum qualifications for this task but am intimidated by it since I've never taught braille to a child. I'm in the US, speak french and know abrégé.

Also, am I the only blind person who gets asked to play voice guessing games so much that they sometimes hate leaving the house and have to resist hating able people? My disability does not exist for anyone's entertainment!!!…
PSA: if you see me walking about and want to say hello, please tell me who you are! I don’t know who I’m speaking to otherwise. If you just say hey, and I ignore you don’t get mad at me. I didn’t knew your speaking to me it’s takes a second to say “hey Angie it’s X”

the Rainiers being broadcast somehow somewhere this year? By you?
Good morning. Do you mind if I mention your Backpack Studio tutorial in Top Tech tidbits? I think a lot of people would be interested.
