Tactile Times

We are three young braillists, Ellie, Lexy and Theo, who thought it would be fun to set up a free bianual way for young braillists to connect and share news.

You can then copy across all your markers, but make sure to do it today. Just add them all to a route in old Soundscape, name it something like Export, and copy it to Soundscape community through the Share menu. There may be bugs, but its definitely worth a try.

Although this is the last day that the original #MicrosoftSoundscape app can be used, Soundscape community is now on the App Store as of today with virtually the same layout and functionality. Download it now:
