Subject: [access-uk] New braille pocket frame
Hello listers,
How many of you are proficient braille writers on a hand or pocket
frame? I've had a couple in the past and although I managed to write
braille in the mirror style, I never achieved fast writing speeds.
Yesterday I visited RNIB's online shop and found there is a new pocket
frame. I was impressed by the description so I ordered one. Here are
the details.
Braille King pocket frame
Unlike traditional braille frames, the Braille King is an upward writing
frame,
which uses a unique hollow-ended stylus to produce the dots. Braille is
written
from left to right, so you don't have to worry about reversing
characters as you
write or having to turn the paper over to read what you have written!
This small
durable and light-weight pocket-sized frame is ideal for all braille
writers as
well as sighted friends and family.
if you are blind, the Braille King pocket frame will save you from
having to
write braille in the reverse mirror writing method. The new
hollow-ended
stylus enables you to produce braille as you would read braille, from
left to
right
if you are sighted, you can now easily write a greetings card or quick
note to
a blind friend. Simply copy the braille characters printed on the
pocket-sized
plastic pouch
great for short notes and reminders, recording phone numbers and
shopping
lists, making labels and marking up receipts, tickets and other
documents for
easy identification later on
blue plastic four line frame, each line has 15 cells (60 cells in
total) and
produces single-sided braille
tactile markings on the upper plate make it easy to keep track of where
you
are as you write
pins are located on the underside to keep the paper in place, enabling
you to
easily check what you have written without removing the paper from the
frame
supplied with a plastic style and spiral bound brailon notebook
(product code
BP63) in a handy pocket-sized white plastic pouch, which has the
braille
alphabet printed on it in blue
the frame is fixed inside the pouch with Velcro and can be removed if
required
works well with plasticised materials, such as brailon and plastic
self-adhesive labelling material
also produces braille on 9mm and 12mm Dymo tape with guides to hold the
tape
in place.
BF21 - Braille King pocket frame
Price: £9.95 (Ex. VAT) £11.69 (Inc. VAT)
Hope the above is helpful.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
