Hi Mo,

I am using an Index Basic S.  I am sure this would meet your requirements.  Not 
sure where you are but I got mine from George Bell of Technovision in the U.K.

He also supplies Duxbury Braille translating software which works perfectly 
well with this embosser.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [access-uk] Advice Wanted: Which embosser to buy?


Hello Everyone.

I'm looking to buy a braille embosser. I have conducted research on 
various models from index, View Plus, freedomscientific etc, but would 
like some advice based on the following requirements for the cheapest 
model available.

the embosser will be used for printing the occasional document in braille.
The embosser ideally must come with some software that will allow me to 
print if possible, directly from microsoft word. the tiger embossers 
from View plus have this feature included where you can print directly 
what's on screen, but are there any other embossers that are cheaper 
that can do this?
then there are software upgrade prices to consider when a new version's 
released. i'm not made of money, but on the other hand i'd be happy to 
support a company if they don't break the bank.
Finally, although its not a major consideration the embosser needs to be 
small if possible as i'm only printing on A4 sheets.
And of course, it must be able to support the latest operating systems.

If anyone has any suggestions or advice, i'd be very greatful.

Many thanks in advance,

Mo.
