[access-uk] Top-Braille

Hello,

Ari, I had not heard of Top-Braille before, so thanks for pointing it out.

Top-Braille is a small, self-contained, handheld scanning device with both braille and audio output. The user tracks the device along a line of printed text, and tactile/audio signals give directions if the user is straying off the line. The output is read character by character and cannot be read word by word.

As for price, this can be found by downloading an order form, which is a Word document, in French, of course. The price quoted is three thousand Euros, excluding VAT. At the current exchange rate, the cost in sterling would be around £2250. The French VAT quoted is 5.5 per cent, giving a total price of 3165 Euros.

The English version of the website is easy to understand, despite a few wayward translations! For a direct link to the English pages, visit

http://www.top-braille.com/index.php?lang=en

Before you reach the English text, there is some French text which has to do with changing the visual appearance of the page.

Cheers,

Christopher
