    Paper Money Brailler

    Perkins Solutions

    $6.45

    The Paper Money Brailler lets someone who is blind or has low vision add braille marks to paper bills, so they can tell the denominations apart by touch. It works on $1, $5, $10, and $50 bills. The device is small, about 3 inches by 1.5 inches, and has a keychain attachment, so it can go with you in a pocket or bag. It's a stand-alone tool, with no batteries or other equipment mentioned.

    Perkins SMART Brailler

    Perkins Solutions

    $2,195.00

    The Perkins SMART Brailler is an electric braille writer that embosses braille on paper while showing what is typed on a built-in 4.3-inch screen. As a student types, the screen shows the letters, and large print and spoken audio feedback confirm each one. That lets a sighted teacher or parent follow along without reading braille. It also uses SimBraille, a font that adds shadow dots to help sighted readers make sense of braille. Documents can be edited, saved, and moved by USB, and the voice can be set to male or female. It takes paper up to 8 1/2 x 11 inches and weighs 8.5 pounds, so it works best as a desk or classroom machine rather than something to carry around.

    Perkins Classic Brailler with Leather Dust Cover

    Perkins Solutions

    $810.00

    The Perkins Classic Brailler is a manual braille typewriter. You press its keys to emboss braille dots onto paper, with no power or computer needed. It can emboss 25 lines of 42 cells on a letter-size sheet, and the margin guides slide left and right to fit different paper sizes. An audible bell sounds seven spaces before the end of a line, so the writer knows when to move down. It ships with a leather dust cover and a wooden eraser, and the maker says it makes fewer errors than writing with a slate and stylus. At about 10.6 pounds, it stays on a desk or table rather than traveling in a bag.
