There were very expensive PRINT Readers-- they did cost thousands of pounds. Now I think they do not cost so much.The braille I saw in the elevator is exactly the same as in "Braille Alphabet and Braille Code". ( I noticed that if I wished to learn japanese braille-- which seemed basically Kana-- I would simply learn the same signs/ dots but for a different sign. I am not sure if Kanji can be used though?)
Oh, I remember one thing which annoys the visually impaired people.
They used to listen to TV programs using radio. Because the TV broadcasting and radio broadcasting use the same electrical waves.
But in Japan, all TV broadcasting will have switched to the terrestrial digital broadcasting service completely on July 24th, which is the day after tomorrow!
It can provide much clearer vision.
Yet, I too had to endure the great expense to buy a new TV-set.
Unless I get a new TV-set, I will be unable to watch TV after the day after tomorrow.
BTW, the terrestrial digital broadcasting service uses completely different waves from the former waves, though I'm not sure about electricity things.
The visually handicapped people will no longer be able to listen to TV program on radio, after the day after tomorrow!
They have to buy a new expensive TV-set, though they don't need the clearer vision.
What an ironical thing it is!
