[nabs-l] The Electronic Brailler!

[Steve Jacobson]

I saw the Electronic Brailler, too, and it has some possibilities.  It
takes advantage of the Duxbury Braille Translator, so that will help to
get translated braille into the hands of kids without requiring a
braillist, but no braille translator will do a perfect job with
formatting, so some knowledge of that is likely still going to be needed,
as will the need for making raised line drawings of some coursework. 
While the machine is apparently coming out soon, I was told that they
are still making refinements to the braille embossing mechanism.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
