Al,
     I agree with you that you cannot beat braille for notes, outlines, and
simple lists.  After our VCR collection got to big to simply remember, I
started putting 3-by-5 cards in with the tapes which had the contents of
the tapes on them.  As for code, I also agree that 2D beats hell out of
strings.  As for reading:  Assuming I got you right, reading is reading.
But, to get a real feel for how a writer's style is created you need either
braille or text on a computer, simple voice output won't suffice.  Most
reading for pleasure doesn't require this, though.
