It's a little bit different. I had an eye, so first when I knew nothing about 
the farsi keyboard, I just pushed all of them untill I found the right one. 
The difference between me and the lind guy, is that I at least could see what 
I am typing.

After a while, well, you learn them by heart.

But to answer your question, yes, indeed I have seen (on TV) blind guys that 
work comfortably with qwetry keyboard. It's not that difficult. It's 
certainly easier that writing in the blind hand writing (the one where they 
pitch holes on a sheet).

Yeah, quite different ones are in the market. However, there is I guess a ISO 
standard regarding the farsi keyboard. Not sure of this though, Arash Zeini 
probably knows better.
