[Electronics-Talk] 6dot Braille Label Maker

[cheez at cox.net]

Nice you got an ac adaptor.  The company I got my labeler was selling it for
$36.

And yes, Kay, glad to hear the speed isn't an issue for you.  However, if
one is going to use it where time is of the essence and many labels are
needed, that latency is a hindrance.

Also, glad to hear they finally came up with a carrying case.  When I
checked about 3 years ago, they were still trying to find someone to make a
case.

Just to comment on this, mine did come with an AC adaptor so maybe it
depends on where you get it.

6Dot Braille Label Maker

From: "Mary Wyatt" <mary at proxtalker.com>
total: $624.00


Now, here's my review.
It makes nice braille, however, it is slow as molasses in my opinion.
The shape, which is a kidney shape, is rather weird.  I haven't tried using
a regular keyboard with it yet, so I can't say anything about the speed from
that perspective.
I also don't like the fact that, for the price of this device, it should
accept all sizes of the vinyl tape.  It only uses the smaller sized version.
It doesn't come with an ac adaptor.
To be honest with you, if I had to do it all over again, I would have sent
it back and would use that $600 on the plastic ones.
Now, it is possible, they have improved the device by now.  But I doubt it.
Oh, and another thing, and as far as I know, they haven't come out with a
carrying case for the thing.

Jolynn,
I'll have to look up where I purchased mine, but want to say that I
absolutely love it. It is expensive, but so easy to use and much quicker to
label things. It is also great as you can use contracted Braille where as
the wheel ones you cannot.

Hi,
Checking to see if anyone has any feedback on the 6dot Braille Label Maker.
Do you find it worth the expense? I have quite a bit of things both at home
and at work that I have been wanting to label for quite some time but my
little handheld labeler is just not doing the job. I just thought I would
check to see if anyone has any feedback, both positive or negative. Also,
where have you found places to purchase this item?
Thank you so much! 

Jolynn
