For our most recent organization event for the blind, I received a small braille letter. It was in that mysterious grade one braille they have now I forget what they call it, but it was so hard to read.

I produce accessible information for a living and have done for 30 years. Most of our content gets produced within two days. Especially for corporate commercials and that kind of thing. Maybe five days if it’s non-urgent and 10 days if it’s more complex documents or document volume. We simply would not be in business if we took three months to send somebody their bank statement. :-)

I doubt it, and ironically partly because postal mail won't go away either.

I’ve written a number of Blogs for our work website. In the UK, RNIB/Guide Dogs and other sector related charities say: “People with sight loss are twice as likely to be digitally excluded than the general population and 36% of blind and partially sighted people never use the internet or don’t have access to it. This is significantly higher than the UK average of 10%.” I’m not seeing the gap between digital content and our access to it getting smaller. Access moves around for sure but, we often lose as much as we gain.

I interpreted the question to be about paper braille vs paperless braille, more than about braille or even accessibility in general. I think the forces that preserve paper mail will also preserve paper braille. I wonder if I'm right, and for how long. :-)
