The SMART Brailler cost $2195.00.
The SMART Brailler is built upon the Perkins Next Generation Brailler and features a video screen and audio feedback which shows and speaks letters and words in real-time as they are being brailled, for an instantaneous, multi-sensory learning experience.

HEAR THE WORDS. SEE THE LETTERS. CONNECT THE DOTS.

The Perkins SMART Brailler® is the evolution of the Perkins Brailler® from a low-technology, beloved classic to a high-technology learning and teaching tool. It offers a new, more intuitive way for individuals, both sighted and blind, to communicate, teach and learn braille together. Now teachers can see what their students are brailling, sighted parents can help their visually impaired children with homework and students can take the lead in their own braille education. Sighted or blind, we can all share the learning experience!

Features

Video screen displays SimBraille and print while audio feedback speaks the letters and words in real-time as they are being brailled for an instantaneous, multi-sensory learning experience.
USB port enables saving and transferring files to another device.
Text-to-speech from acapela group
Headphone jack and volume control

Rechargeable and removable battery
It would be nice if we could take donations from individuals and chapter to help the Porter Family get one of these SMART Braillers.

Just a thought,
Holly
