[Electronics-Talk] My Review of the ProxTalkerElectronics BrailleLabeler [A Question and Interesting]

[Matthew Bullis]

I have that earlier model, and was one of about 100 people who ever had one. It does take the wide tape, but it's a moot point for anyone else, since it was an earlier version. I am ready to get the new model since this model has worn out on me. As for the motor differences, I expect they thought they might be able to get it to run at two different speeds. How is the automatic cutter on the labeler? When I tested it out, it had some trouble scoring the tape. They said they were perfecting this, and this was at CSUN 2014. I think the intent was to try to get an audio review of your label, so they put the audio jack in there. I am wondering how you would upgrade the unit if you need an adapter for the USB port?

Eh, Matthew, did you know there was an earlier model of this labeler produced by the same company?
That's what the sales rep told me.  Did you ever see that earlier model?

I found your statement about them thinking the adaptor would make the motor run faster interesting.  The only time I've seen ac adaptors make a unit run faster is if the batteries were dying.  I chuckled when I read that.

> Also understand that this new unit will not take the wider tape that most blindness catalogs have in stock. I am glad I got a chance to figure this out in person when I spoke to the company. The reason they gave is because although a lot of catalogs have this tape in stock, it's actually hard to find. The tape they use is now more common. Also they were hoping to make the machine so that when the adapter was plugged in it would run the motor faster, but that didn't happen. You have the choice of six double A batteries or the adapter purchase.
