[nabs-l] Braille Printer and a Dux Berry Software

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi all.
I believe I still have an old Romeo 25 embosser, the one with the serial and parallel ports on it and its in great condition.
All you would have to do is get a USB to serial adapter from Amazon.
If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

>> Hi all, this is Helga! How are you all? I just wanted to tell you that I would like to have a Braille printer and a Dux Berry Software that comes with it at home. I just wanted to ask you, do you know where I can get one in order for me to use it  so that I could print my school materials and my other personal materials as well? And if you know, what kind of Braille Printer do you recommend me to have?  I’m just wondering, since my DSS office takes a long time to give me my Braille materials for my classes, and Just to let you know, I’m actually a visual learner when it comes to study! You probably think I’m cracy, but that is the way I study and learn school assignments! In fact, In fact, for me listening to an screen reader, or audio is not just enough for my learning, I actually like to follow along while listening to audio. And I actually have JAWS and I use it while reading my assignments in Braille. I’m not saying that audio and listening to a screen reader is bad; They are very helpful. I’m just saying that is not sufficient to succeed in higher education. And as you all know, I’m actually from peru, and my first language is not English, and that is why I use Braille in order to read my assignments like my sighted classmates. Maybe some of you will not agree with me, but I think that all visually impaired student and individual should learn how to read and write Braille. Just to let you know, Braille was the first method I learned how to use when I became blind 6 years ago, before even I learn how to use a computer and technology! In fact, many people told me about the Juliet or the Romeo Braille embossers, but I really don’t know if they are the right ones! I will really appreciate it, if you could help me and give me some suggestions regarding this. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much and God bless!!
