[NFB-Braille-Discussion] World braille day

[Jen]

I've never used an electric brailler but can see the advantage of it. It's
way easier to erase mistakes! On my brailler, I had to use an eraser, and
you could still feel the impressions of your mistakes. Also, you had to be
careful not to press too hard to not make holes in the paper...

Two questions...

1. Why would an electric brailler prohibit faster typing?
2. Why would an electric brailler be louder than a manual one?

The electric Perkins does not allow for faster typing, unless they'd
introduced an electric Perkins I don't know about. Electric braille writers
are louder, and you don't have to push as hard on the keys. I personally
don't like them because if you need to write on plastic and press harder,
the electric brailler does not allow that.

I learned braille when I was around 2 or 3 years old. Thanks to the recent
lower-cost braille displays like the orbit reader20, I can participate more
fully in my community by reading in church, thanks to braille. And next
month when I get the braille me display, with its cursor router buttons,
I'll be able to edit easier and quicker with the computer and iPod touch.
After that when I get the electric perkins brailler, that will allow me to
write braille even faster, on paper, than I can with the standard manual
perkins brailler. I am looking forward to having both of those. And last,
I'll be saving up for duxbury braille translator and a braille buddy
embosser so I can get documents and stuff from my computer into paper
braille if I wish, or transcribe small things for people if needed. I've had
my standard perkins brailler since 1987 and it still works great.
