Perkins Brailler

Today, we will check out our Perkins braille writer. Now, we will use our brailler to write or emboss braille right onto paper, and we will actually learn all of our knobs and keys as we begin using our brailler today.

So let's jump right in and check it all out. Okay, we have our brailler right here in front of us, and we know we're good to go because all of our keys are on the side that is facing us. Now, before we can begin writing braille, we will, of course, need to load our paper into our brailler, but before we can load our paper, there's a couple of things we'll need to do. First, we'll find the round knobs on the side of our brailler, and these are our paper roller knobs.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you, your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
