Employment statistics prove that braille literacy is essential to productive, independent living for people who are blind. The Next Generation Perkins Brailler weighs 25% less than its predecessor, meaning that more children around the world who are blind can carry their braille writing machines to and from school.
The NEW Next Generation Perkins Brailler carries this mission into the future. This sleek, lightweight, quiet version of the much-loved Classic Perkins Brailler will make writing in braille much easier and more accessible.
The Next Generation Perkins Brailler includes functions you asked for – a built-in eraser, a way to read the page easily while writing, a shorter keystroke requiring less force, and margin guides on the front rather than the back panel. It even comes in fun colors, has tactile design elements and is more environmentally-friendly.
