[Tactile-Talk] Wikipedia article on the Optacon

The exact price is 14.999 unless he changed it then if you want the plus you just tack on $3000.  They are always looking for backing to drop the price but they are not there yet.

I do not know the exact price of the Graphiti. I advocated, for a year plus, to get one. Once I have it, I'll find out the full cost and share.

Are there current prices available for the two versions of the Graphiti?

We note that the Monarch at $18,700.00 (APH, Humanware)

The latest version of the Canute360 is at $3,195.00  (AT Guys)

We also note that there seems to be no price available for the Cadence from Tactile Technology.

It's of some interest, from an engineering/technology point of view, to compare the 'retail cost per tactile dot' as new products become available. But we have to recognize that there is probably a significant, and variable, factor between direct (manufacturing) cost and current retail price. 

Best,

Keith

I'm here. Still unavailable, however my Graphiti should be coming soon. They are testing it now from the lab. This is going to be an amazing journey. Talk soon.
