We were very excited when the smart braillerhttp://www.perkinsproducts.org/smartbrailler arrived and couldn't wait to get it out of the box.
i waited until my daughter was in bed before I took the audio tour. it was quite easy to find my way round the brailler but it was handy to be able to pause the tour while I located the more unusual features-like the margin setting which is tucked behind the screen panel.
This afternoon I inroduced it to my daughter
She really enjoyed using itbecause it talked to her . she found it quite easy to use although we use fully contracted braille and there was a bit of confusion when it called '4,6,e' '4.6.5' but it did eventually recognize the word we had written as 'dance'! We managed to make and save a file but we haven't ried to print it yet . that is tomorrow's job! !
