in 3rd grade we had a blind girl in class and I always liked when she was in the room for quiet writing time because the sounds of the braille writer were (and still are) very satisfying to hear. Unfortunately, the rest of the class didn't think that way so Annalee usually went somewhere else with her guide teacher for quiet writing time. I remember when she would really get into a flow you constantly heard that end of the line bell lol
I own a Perkins Brailler, and I repair and donate them. I believe that these machines are an important tool for anyone that may benefit from it's use. everyone should have access to the tools they need to be successful in life.

I learned Braille when I was 19 and the first-ever Braille device I used was a braille writer at my blind School. Then I learned the slate and stylus at the Iowa Department for the blind. I've also taken Hadley courses in Braille and I use my Braille writer do my Braille homework for my Hadley courses. I have known Braille for 8 years now and I plan to be a braille teacher and the Braille transcriber. I'm also learning Braille because I'm visually impaired from glaucoma and my other eye conditions and I want to be prepared in case glaucoma limits my sight. I want to be literate always.
Same as me. I lost an eye during the start of the pandemic. I bought an OrbitReader20 and started learning 6 months after my first surgery failed; and my fixed eye began to leak. Maybe I won't ever be bleeding in both eyes; but I am getting ready. If it only happens after my daughter graduates college; I will be fine. My biggest problem is learning to navigate big computer documents, and I barely know contracted braille. I 3D printed an 8-dot stylus; but I can't avoid 6-dot forms. So I bought a Perkins, and some slates. I have been writing braille-related code. Maybe I will be able to help out on Linux. You would think braille in terminals on Linux would be quite easy; but it isn't. I might have to switch to Windows to get better screen readers; but I am very much a backend Linux developer.
I couldn't agree more! I own a Perkins Brailler, and I repair and donate them. I believe that these machines are an important tool for anyone that may benefit from it's use. everyone should have access to the tools they need to be successful in life.
I am partially blind and briefly started learning braille in my youth. I use large print instead. I do remember some of what I learned and I find myself checking out hre braille in elevators or beside elevators. Here in Canada we have Braille on the money adn I like to show that to people. Great video!
This video was extremely helpful because right now I'm reading a book called Blind about a girl and her struggles when she loses her sight and I was confused what a Brailler was. This helped explain thank you😋
Very nice explanation. My 6 year old daughter is going to need to learn how to use a brailler and I've never seen one before. This video was very helpful.
braille is a super easy language to learn. Your daughter needs to learn phonetic english (the sounds), and that will her with her braille. watch the 7 lessons from this youtuber. in the description, there are GOLDEN links to teach YOU braille, so you can teach your daughter. it is a SUPER SUPER SUPER EASY LANGUAGE TO LEARN. Honestly, I bet you could learn Braille in 1 week. It is that easy. Also, something that helps for younger students, is using a 6-muffin pan, with tennis balls (to represent the cell). before she can learn small braille, she needs to learn it big ruclips.net/video/oKSIybjzoLY/видео.html
Might as well use it yourself as well, Braille is such an interesting alphabet and not so hard to learn. I learned it just out of interest. Plus, you'll be able to check you're daughters homework.
This video was so practical to demonstrate the Perkins as a braillewriter and how to use it by blind person. I appreciate your time that devoted for us. Muayad AzizBraillist at Seattle Public Schools Seattle, WA, U.S.A
Wow. Lucky I came across this video. I’m hoping to add one of these to my typewriter collection very soon, and I think this will help me once I actually learn to read and write in braille.
Depends. If it's a little mistake, and you can just add one more dot to fix it, then you backspace and braille the correct letter. (like if you intended to braille the letter k- dots 1 and 3, but you accidentally only did dot 1, then you can backspace and add in the missing dot.) There is a braille eraser, where you can smoosh out the incorrect dots. (a pen cap works pretty well too). That should only be used if you can do it very smoothly. If not, another option is to backspace and mark full cells over the errors and then start the word all over again-- kind of like using a pen to cross out a written error.
Does anyone know where I can purchase an inexpensive brailler? They're all so, so pricey. I'd like one that doesn't need to be plugged in, something like this would be great.

Excellent video: clear speech and good reinforcement and repetition. Thank you.

@@Ava_Lang I made this comment 4 years ago and I've since learned basic braille. Contractions are not so easy. Thanks for your encouragement though.

Thanks very much for your kind words. We really appreciate it!
Thank you for this video! Very well made!

Yeah I was thinking about it too then I was like yeah maybe I'm not the one to use it lol
I was taught on an older model in the 90s, but they seem the same, except that this one has a nice colour
Hey I am blind and I am currently learning grade 2 braille I have already memorised all the letters and even use them in my stories
Well explained. Thanks
Wow! This is so interesting!
Outstanding job
The video is very good.
Amazing!
This very much resembles a typewriter!
It is, just not for latin letters ...
I always wondered: what happens when you make a mistake? Do you have to take out the paper & start all over?
Depends. If it's a little mistake, and you can just add one more dot to fix it, then you backspace and braille the correct letter. (like if you intended to braille the letter k- dots 1 and 3, but you accidentally only did dot 1, then you can backspace and add in the missing dot.)

Robin Duong Music I bought mine on Amazon used but it was still $145.
I'm sorry that's how much it cost me to repair it the actual price of the used Brillar was 550
Where in south africa can I buy the perkins machine e.g in gauteng , Johannesburg. And what is the cost?
Where to buy this one plz tell me
Great video. Does the machine needs special paper or regular one will do ?
It needs special ones
Any cardstock will work. In the US, braille paper is available free to students with visual impairments.
thanks, it was very informative just a suggestion can you please make movies in french.
How many rupees Desh machine
how much does it cost?
Eleanor Crossley a lot of money. Hundreds to thousands of dollars. You probably know the cost now sconce I responded 3 years later but...😂
I justed looked it up, approximately $810 for a manual one, over a grand for an electric one.
The cursa and mahgin
I need one
Hey
As tous les français, brailler veux dire pleurer Qc Canada
