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

New Perkins SMART Brailler
<http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=AKrG3q7TRxktSCb0aSnQgw> 

Dear Colleague,

We want you to be the first to hear about our new groundbreaking
technology, poised to forever change the world's understanding of
braille education.

Perkins Products is proud to introduce the NEW Perkins SMART Brailler(r)
- the evolution of the Perkins Brailler(r) from a low-technology,
beloved classic to a high-technology learning and teaching tool. Its
built-in video screen combined with audio feedback shows and speaks
letters and words in real-time as they are being brailled.

The SMART Brailler, developed by Perkins Products in conjunction with
the American Printing House for the Blind, opens the door to a new, more
intuitive way for individuals, both sighted and blind, to communicate,
teach and learn braille together. Now teachers in a mainstream classroom
can see what their students are brailling. Sighted parents can help
their visually impaired children with homework. And students can
discover the fun in their own braille education. Sighted or blind, we
can all share the learning experience and CONNECT THE DOTS!

How does the SMART Brailler do this? It includes:

*	A video screen for instantaneous audio and visual feedback -
displays SimBraille and print 
*	Text-to-speech from acapela group so the letters, words and
sentences can be read back while brailling 
*	Ability to edit, save and transfer electronic documents via USB 
*	Headphone jack and volume control 
*	Operates as a mechanical brailler for extended use 
*	Rechargeable and removable battery 

In addition, the APH version of the SMART Brailler also includes the APH
Building on Patterns-Kindergarten software - Braille Learning Exercises
which offer easy lessons for anyone who wants to learn braille.

The Perkins Products version of the SMART Brailler, ordered directly
from Perkins Products, does not include Building on Patterns but does
include:

*	The option to use other languages besides English 
*	The ability (coming soon) to download braille learning software
for a fee 

There is no other product on the market that makes learning braille this
intuitive and accessible. We invite you to view our introduction video
<http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=MlVMCxVvlzOsYE4MC7cl_A>  by
visiting our new website, MailScanner has detected a possible fraud
attempt from "support.perkins.org" claiming to be www.Smartbrailler.org
<http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=nTNFr1gixKfBr8QG_5obLA> . And also
to watch our short video on the relevance of braille
<http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=3u2orIyyJl3Z3GFdWmBjVg>  in a high
tech world. 

We are planning to begin shipments in September of the Perkins Products
version of the SMART Brailler and we are taking pre-orders now. We hope
you'll join us in spreading the news about this latest way that Perkins
Products is unleashing possibility all around the world. Sign up for
