I think I would have problems trying to write Braille from left to right.

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
