[Blindtlk] Braillers

[Nikki]

    here's a thought...

maybe the device could have battery power along with the option to plug it 
into the wall. on top of the device would be a braille key board. this way 
you wouldn't have to have a computer program... you would control whether 
it's grade 1 or 2... and the device would be small enough to be portable... 
hmm nice idea

o. well, I just broadcasted it over a public forum, if this doesn’t
currently exist, I better start working quickly. Does anyone know if
something like this either exists or has been attempted by anyone?
