In the latest episode of *Raising the Dots*, we meet **Isaac Raske**, a blind Purdue University student majoring in Computer Engineering Technology and Cyber Security. Isaac shares how he uses Dot Pad X to access learning materials, including calculus graphs, physics diagrams and spatial mathematics, after transitioning from single-line note-takers.

We also speak to **Marco Salsiccia**, a blind developer and creator of Ghostwriter Markdown, a free iOS app that makes it easier to create structured notes and export braille files for multiline braille displays.

**Listen to the latest episode of Raising the Dots** to hear Isaac's experience and discover a useful tool for creating accessible learning materials.
