Captioned - Helen Keller Demonstrates Braille Typewriter

Year - 1954. Blind and Deaf Writer, and Social Activist, Helen Keller, gives a brief demonstration of a braille typewriter. Her companion, Polly Thomson also makes an appearance. TRANSCRIPT: " After the mail, Helen goes to her own study, to work. There are reports to be made out. Speeches and articles to be prepared. So far as possible, she does her own research. She locates her reference books by the braille lettering, along the edge. In her work, she will not indulge herself because she is handicapped. Everyone has his own handicaps, Helen says. It just happens to be the handicap of the blind, that they cannot see. Of the deaf, that they cannot hear. She does her own typing. Her speeches, she does on her braille typewriter. So she can go over them herself, for correction. The machine only has six keys, because all braille letters are made by the combination and placement of six raised dots. For her letters, she uses a regular typewriter. She is fast and accurate. But she has Polly check her letters. Being blind, she cannot permit herself the casual mistakes of the seeing. If there are mistakes, Helen types the letter again. From the vibrations of a buzzer, Helen knows when it is time for lunch."

[@BeBodacious]

Her IQ must have been sky high. It's amazing that she learned to type on a regular typewriter and accomplished so much.

[@IamHelenKeller]

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it's difficult to learn to type, even for seeing people. Wishing you a lovely new day! Please accept my best wishes! :)

[@thereforeayam]

the other lady was able to tell her 'this is very nice, I am your friend, kind of a laugh together into Ms. Keller's hand...that was very cheerful ...even I felt cheered up

[@ClassRoutinesRENEEsFunClips]

[@rachelcharlottemacintyre7014]

Hello. Dearest lady. It is a great activity to educate to the feat of Helen Keller in the video. Clinical medical research in hospitals of JPN became a place of great IPS cell research. It was released to the open to all researchers without patent application. You can contribute to the dramatic medicine. We want the patient and the staff to thank in the same way as you of this wonderful video is devoted. I wish you all the best. Good luck to you.!!! From UK & JPN. Rachel.

[@IamHelenKeller]

Hi Rachel. Thanks for the kind comment. It's nice to hear from you! Hope you have a lovely and productive new day tomorrow!

[@QuertyQw33n]

Look how far accessible technology has come from the days of Hellen Keller, where she needed the help of sighted professionals and companions to see to typewritten perfection, to now where people who are blind and/or deaf can use computers with synthesized speech or braille terminals to write and communicate independently.

Hi Melissa. A lot of the videos are from a 1954 documentary called "The Unconquered. Helen Keller in Her story". And some are from other documentaries. I just broke them up into shorter videos. Hope things are going well for you. Best Wishes! :)

[@Melissa0774]

You'd think they would've made special keys with braille on them for the regular typewriter so she'd have conformation that she's hitting the right keys, even though you can do it by feel.

[@mosipd]

Think about that for a second, when you type without looking at the keys and you make an error, how do you know you made an error? You know by looking at the screen to confirm what you're typing. You already think you're hitting the right keys, otherwise it wouldn't be a mistake.

[@Melissa0774]

@@mosipd Yeah, I know that, but I still think having braille on the keys would make it easier, though, especially when a blind person is first learning to type. I can touch type really fast, since I was a kids, but every now and then, I still forget where a key is, or mistake the position of one key with another, or my hand accidentally hits the wrong key. That would drive me crazy if I was blind.

[@QuertyQw33n]

As a person who is blind, I can say that although that would've been helpful and probably would cut down on mistakes, you still would've needed to be able to view the finished product. Seeing as how this is a typewritten document, you still would've needed help from someone sighted to ensure perfection. Like I've said before, we have come along way wiwth access technology where people who are blind can work independently with standard desktops, laptops and tablets, provided they have support for synthesized speech and/or braille terminals, which most computers today do support.
