Have you checked on ebay and Craigslist? You can get some used items for
much less than the list price, including note takers, embossers, and so on.
Hope this helps.
I realize it's a bit past the date of the original post.

This sounds like some of what I did when my son was younger with books we
already had.? Don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but what about a
MountBatten Brailler?? I think it is great,
....
You can braille in either beginning braille or contracted, then when they
get older they still have it as a brailler to use.? I love ours and the only
drawback was the cost of $2000 or so, but my son uses his everyday after
school for his homework, so it was a good investement.? Now, he is preparing
to convert to the braille note as he is older, but we are still trying to
get funds for that.
?
Good luck.
