Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler What post 7 described is the mount batten brailer.While they have their uses, doing maths on them isn't exactly ideal.You need something like the manual, or I guess, even the electric perkins brailer.I saw one once at the place where I did work

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler hi.I used an eletric brailler back in school.For me; it wasn't that different to a regular brailler although as you say, the keys were softer.I also remember this... Block of wood thing where you'd put the paper in and there was this table, it would hold

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler Hi guys! Talking of braillers and writting in braille, for those who are interested, I've made a configuration for the BBREK keyboard in wich you use the little keyboard as a Perkins Brailler. You will use the normal six keys for writting all your letters

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler Why was the electric brailler harder to braille with? Or do you mean easier? It is a lot easier and faster to press the keys on the electric brailler than it is on a regular brailler. Also, the 3 solenoid parts of the electric brailler are: the solenoid

Re: The electric perkins brailler We had 1 in kindergarten we thought it was the coolest thing as it was loud and harder to Braille with. Looking back on it now it didn't do anything that a regular Braille Writer couldn't. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/489768/#p489768

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler I also had an image-writer printer. It sounded cool if you made it print lines of dashes or underscore or underline characters. Or if you put control h backspace control characters into the file you could make it back up a character and write over what

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler Oh, I remember the Braille 'n' Print. I used one when I was in elementary school. It was connected to an imagewriter. Good times. Which, by that I mean, one more loud, cumbersome device that was already outdated by the time I used it which made me stand

Re: The electric perkins brailler When I used the electric brailler back in 2011 I did not have any shorting out issues or fires. According to the perkins website, the new electric braillers are more energy efficient and work much better than the old ones in the 1980s. As for why I want

Re: The electric perkins brailler At school I probably used the Mountbatten for a year or two, and then I got a notetaker from Technibraille called the Zephyr, and I still have it somewhere. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/489498/#p489498 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler Some iterations of the Mountbatten even had doubletalk speech. As for the electric brailler, nowadays it's not worth it unless you have someone with a fine-motor difficulty. Obviously it screams of 1980s circuitry, what with the occasional yet not expected

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler Actually I found back the one I was talking about, it was a Mountbatten writer. So the electric perkins brailler must be something else. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/489493/#p489493 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler At post7. You are probably thinking of the braille n print. With the braille n print which has been discontinued, not made anymore. You take the bottom off a regular perkins brailler then put the brailler on top of a box with some electronics in it which

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler I had a friend at my previous school who had very serious problem with her hands. He used that machine  because it helped her press the keys, however we had to carry that for her becxause the device is much heavier than the regular braille machine. URL

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler I've used some kind of electric Perkins Brailler back in the early 2000s at school. It had a switch to turn it on and off, a volume wheel as the thing makes a few beeps in a musical way when it is turned on or off, and above the perkins keyboard were three

Re: The electric perkins brailler

Re: The electric perkins brailler But why would a more modern iteration of the brailler be louder? That doesn't make much sense to me. I always assumed that it would be quieter and more efficient. Wasn't this thing created less than 10 years ago? URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post
