Thanks for this! I did not know they existed.

Sam, those writing guides are great but when I was in school we were taught touch typing instead of hand writing. My hand writing is terrible. I think I told you I am 71 years old and I've lived with my visual thing all my life. This is normal for me. Keep up the good work am lerning a lot.

I tried writing a note for my daughter and she asked for a translation. She says it's shrunk almost to straight lines.

I have a signature guide . You should make a video on Braille.

All polling stations in the UK have writing guides specially designed to help VIPs cast their votes - you just have to ask. Some of the clerks need you to explain how the guides work because the service tends not to be publicised but we always find them interested and helpful. The word just needs spreading

[@theblindlife]

Great information, thanks!

I just ordered a couple of these but haven’t received them yet. I have never used one. And I am very curious as to how it works. This may make me sound stupid, but I just cannot understand for the life of me how someone someone could write lowercase letters in those windows. Like, how could you write the letters G or J? And with the signature guide… How could a person sign their name if it contain the letter Y? Or P, Q, or Z? I don’t see how you could write any letter or that had to go below the bottom of that window if it’s made out of hard plastic. It looks like you would have to move the entire guide down in order to do so, and that just seems way too complicated. I, myself, and completely blind. I went blind six years ago. I wasn’t born blind, so I am very familiar with print and cursive. I just started a Learning Braille a few months ago. And I’m not very good at it at all yet LOL. I’m far more comfortable with print or cursive. That’s why I want this guy to. I just don’t understand howIt could be used without having to write in all capital letters. I couldn’t see the video, but I heard you talking about the old fashion guide that was made with string instead of plastic. That one sounds interesting to me. It seems to me like that would be easier to use considering you could move your pen down word to make the letters I mentioned above without having to move the entire guide. If anyone knows how this works, please please let me know. I’m dying to understand this.

Visually impaired. Low vision gal here. Yeah, totally wondering the same thing and no-one else has seemed to answer this. Hmm…

[@tabithajackson7758]

i have bold line writing paper, a full sheet writing guide, an envelope writing guide, and a signature writing guide. They are very inexpensive.

[@desmondehoppie4758]

Great

[@licdaysi]

Where can I buy it!! My husband needs it

[@theblindlife]

The easiest place to find them is Amazon.com. There’s also a website called Maxi aids which sells them as well.

Howdy Sam, I've been watching The Blind Life for a couple of months now and thought I'd take a look at your Amazon store. I found a T-Shirt I gotta have. It's the tongue-in-cheek "Blind Lives Matter". What a hoot ! I just hope I don' get shot by some crack fuled politically correct activist. Also, need to find a plain white collapsible cane for 25 bucks or less. Any suggestions ? Cheers.

[@theblindlife]

LOL, thank you for getting the shirt and I hope you don’t get shot also! I am pretty sure you can get one that cheap on Amazon.

[@inekogary8870]

You forgot to show picture of a slate and stylus for those who are totally blind. Were they have different sizes and one for a whole sheet of paper. You forgot to show that for those who were totally blind or have some vision but can’t see print. You forgot to show that one it’s called a slate and stylus.
