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.
