I absolutely agree the only thing is that you would probably have to use american braille for this and another type of braille for that. As for the RNIB doing this you will have a long wait.

There is a gap in the market for such a machine. Something lightweight, half the size of a Perkins, that takes maybe A5 pages. Annabell.-----Original Message----- From: Janet Bell

I like the big frames with their separate guides at least you could hear when you got dictation unlike with a load of stainsby's and perkins.

I know you usually have to Braille right to left, but I think there is one for left to right. While a Braille frame, not a machine, I was just thinking if it's just to Braille a note, now and again, a frame could be the answer.

I do not want a Perkins as they are to big and heavy. I was wondering if the Braille Jotta was still around and can it be bought here in the UK, or is there another portable Braille machine on the market?
