@crazydutchy@evilcookies98 My advice would be to do it a lot. The more you do it, the better you will get. I know it’s a cliche, but some cliches are true. Good luck!
@crazydutchy@Woodyanna I tried that approximately one time and realized it was never going to work. Fortunately, I have a good sized display now so I might actually get somewhere.
@JamminJerry i’m going to now that I have more room to read. I’ve been upgraded in terms of braille display length. I just don’t know what kind of material to practice with. Something tells me the brailleNote empower User guide, which I pulled from the way back machine, is not the best idea.
@ratking@JamminJerry i’m not sure I feel necessarily comfortable with anything. Every time I tried to read out loud when I was younger, I was silenced or had the book taken away.
@JamminJerry@ratking I never know if there are younger ears listening, so I try to refrain from the strong language, unless I’m extremely aggravated, in which case I am not in the mental state to care who is listening.
@carrottop1023 not exactly sure. I lost most of my practice material when my first e-reader went into the toilet by deciding to get stuck in an I’m not going to boot state. I don’t even remember what I had stored on it. My goal is to get through the Grinch this Christmas without stumbling over every other line or having to press the pan key 6000 times because they left half the page blank.
@carrottop1023 with the app I have I can make those work. The display I have now is solely a display and doesn’t have any of the standalone software, which is kind of a relief. I don’t need all those extra bells and whistles. I need it to make the connection to my stuff and display the stuff I need to read.
@carrottop1023 it does, but I wanted a bigger one, and getting another one was an absolute necessity for connecting it to my phone. The software for the reader itself is designed in such a way that it would rather leave half the display blank, then split a word, and considering it only has 20 cells to work with, it’s kind of pointless. I’m not ungrateful, but I am irritated.
@evilcookies98 I could be wrong but, I think some of their stuff is marked up, I know that they have watermarks to notify them of the items downloaded by the person's account.
@carrottop1023 if you put it into the right app on your phone, you can have the text scrolling across the screen, which means the display will pick it up and you can read it.
