---------- Forwarded message ---------- Thought this might be of interest to a few of you, but be warned that this is a very pricey item - the pre-order price is given as $1,995 for orders from within the U.S., and this is not the APH version that includes the learning software. Please don't ask any questions here concerning this product, as this is all the information I have. Please go to one or more of the links included in the message for additional information. -- Perkins Products logo http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=UW4YX_2qGBhQUCUIvCO7_w HEAR THE WORDS. SEE THE LETTERS. CONNECT THE DOTS. New Perkins SMART Brailler http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=47WwegPGT606kPQ3kZZ7ww We want you to be the first to hear about our new groundbreaking technology, poised to forever change the world's understanding of braille education. Perkins Products is proud to introduce the NEW Perkins SMART BraillerR - the evolution of the Perkins BraillerR from a low-technology, beloved classic to a high-technology learning and teaching tool. Its built-in video screen combined with audio feedback shows and speaks letters and words in real-time as they are being brailled. The SMART Brailler, developed by Perkins Products in conjunction with the American Printing House for the Blind, opens the door to a new, more intuitive way for individuals, both sighted and blind, to communicate, teach and learn braille together. Now teachers in a mainstream classroom can see what their students are brailling. Sighted parents can help their visually impaired children with homework. And students can discover the fun in their own braille education. Sighted or blind, we can all share the learning experience and CONNECT THE DOTS! How does the SMART Brailler do this? It includes: * A video screen for instantaneous audio and visual feedback - displays SimBraille and print * Text-to-speech from Acapela Group so the letters, words and sentences can be read back while brailling * Ability to edit, save and transfer electronic documents via USB * Headphone jack and volume control * Operates as a mechanical brailler for extended use * Rechargeable and removable battery In addition, the APH version of the SMART Brailler also includes the APH Building on Patterns-Kindergarten software - Braille Learning Exercises which offer easy lessons for anyone who wants to learn braille. The Perkins Products version of the SMART Brailler, ordered directly from Perkins Products, does not include Building on Patterns but does include: * The option to use other languages besides English * The ability (coming soon) to download braille learning software for a fee There is no other product on the market that makes learning braille this intuitive and accessible.
