Kimberly,
You'll get no argument from me regarding the price of LoganTech's
labeler. Personally, there is no way I'd spend $750 on such a device.
I have fond memories of the dymo labeler. I used it during my teen-age
years to label tons of record covers and tape cases. I also used to own
a one-line slate, which was designed for dymo tape. I also heard that
there was an add-on which you could purchase for a Perkins Brailler
which would allow you to use your Brailler to type on a roll of dymo
tape but I never saw or owned one.
Regarding Braille labelers, Amazon sells one from Reizen for around
forty dollars.

LS&S has one for a litel over thirty dollars.

However, the Braille Superstore's price seems to be the cheapest, at $24.95.

Hi,
I'm not David obviously but perhaps try
www.independentliving.com
Independent Living Aids
or maybe the braille super store
www.braillebookstore.com/
I believe the latter also sells labels that are slightly bigger that one could
put in a regular slate not a single line one affording you the use of perhaps
more contraction use and more information which could fit on the labeling
surface.
I hope that helps.
Robin

David,
You are tremendously helpful and I am not aiming this at you, but this product
makes me laugh, and not in a fun hahaha way. $750 to make labels? Really? This
feels like it comes right out of the bad old days of tech aimed at the blind
market. How many blind people can reasonably afford that kind of money to
create labels? I have a good job with a good salary and I couldn't justify that
kind of expense for a labeler.
Now that my little rant is done, I am actually looking for an easy labeling solution. I
recall from years ago a sort of "label gun" that embossed braille on dymo tape.
I haven't seen one in years, but I think something like that may be what I'm looking for
to label spice jars and containers before I stick them in the freezer. Do you know if
anything like the label gun is still available and where I might get one?
I have one of those single line slates, but it is just too slow and cumbersome
to do quick labeling in the kitchen.
Thanks,
Kimberly

Recently, Coolblindtech highlighted a device from LoganTech called the 6Dot
Label Maker. It allows you to type Braille labels using a six-dot Braille
keyboard. This unit is rather pricey at $749.00 but I wanted to pass on the
link, for those who were interested.
