Braille teachers can now travel less and therefore be able to concentrate more of their time

In areas where trained teachers teach Braille to children are not available or few in
number, organizations or various agencies that teach Braille would be able to offer remote
education for these students. Many times a parent or teacher assistant would be able to be
trained well enough about the BERT application and Braille writer to assist the remote
educator.
