We're almost ready for Winter Wrap Up.

Then we can get Art of the Dress and eventually At the Gala.

I just could never such a large amount of writing in under a month.

At least not quality writing. Last time I checked, this thread was over three million words.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Well, I could probably read that in 10 hours if that was all I was doing. I'm a very fast reader.

I read Fallout Equestria in 4 days and that was at a comfortable speed.

Thanks. My fingers do get numb after a while of braille reading though.

Normally I use a screen-reader for browsing, but I use a digital braille screen that transcribes the onscreen text into braille for more serious reading.

A bit like that. It's as easy as plugging in an Ipod, just sink up the computer with a braile notetaker and it reads whatever your cursor is.

I'm sure they could rig a kind of smart-material braille screen/tablet.

They could, digital braille displays aren't very complicated. But the Iphone already has a voice software that reads commands and icons so it's pretty accessible as it is.

Plus there's the fact that most VI can't afford a braille notetaker, the older models go for around 2500 bucks and the latest model I was lucky enough to get with a discount was originally 6000 dollars.

Yes, very. Most comercial screen-reading software are a thousand bucks not including updates and patches

And rather stupid as most braille equipment has a third the capability. of a regular laptop so it shouldn't cost so much.

I wonder if people have been campaigning to knock the price of braille hardware down.

Also now I'm curious how blind ponies would have to deal with their impediment in Equestria. Kinda like little Snowdrop.

Very large Braille books? Or magic, let's just go with that before I start being offensive. tongue

I know for a fact there are many ways to cheat artificial eyesight for the blind with magic (cure blindness, linked vision share from a summoned familiar, telepathy-linked shared vision, artificial eyes...)

Too bad there are no unicorns able to do any of those.

You could always go with the feeling-the-earth idea from Avatar for Earth Ponies.

I could also see unicorns using their telekenetic auras to feel around and use them like extendable hands. and using a spell to focus light between a telescope of aura to increase visibility for partially sighted. For instance, reading a book with the aura to magnify the letters from their field of vision. That's the idea for my OC, at any rate.

The only thing I could come up for Pegasi is using a presumed sensitivity to air currents and sound location to navigate.

Otherwise, they'd have to learn braille or have access to somepony recording the book. Which I'm sure Twilight would be happy to do in her free time.

Some blind folks can use techniques like echolocation to get around. Bouncing low-intensity telekinesis magic off things perhaps?

@Red: Incorrect; There is at least one documented case of ponies using artificial eyes made of crystals, the G1 Twinkly-eyed Ponies. They were saved from slavery by G1 AJ and used their slavemaster wizard's gemstones to fashion prosthetic eyes.

But there are no badger-moles in Equestria.
