Dear Jeanne,
We are writing to you with some very exciting news. Today, 57 years
after the launch of the original Perkins Brailler, we are introducing the
NEW Next GenerationT Perkins Brailler®. Initially the Next Generation
model
will be for sale only in the United States and only through American
Printing House for the Blind or Perkins Products.
The Next Generation Perkins Brailler retains all of the features that
made the Classic Perkins Brailler the most widely used braille writer in
the
world, plus incorporates new features users have been asking for.
The Next Generation Perkins Brailler is:
More portable due to its lighter weight and smaller size
More comfortable to use with a shorter keystroke and less force
required
Quieter
New features and improvements in the Next Generation Perkins Brailler
include:
Easy-Erase Button so you can correct mistakes while brailling
Reading Rest so you can proofread the page with ease
Front Panel Margin Guides so you don't have to reach around the
back
Greener construction through the use of less oil and
manufactured
materials
Modern colors and a sleek, new design
This brailler was developed with support from the American Printing
House for the Blind. In recognition of this, braillers sold in the United
States for the first six months may be ordered exclusively through APH or
Perkins Products and will be available only in APH Blue. In April 2009,
the
new brailler will be available through our resellers in the United States.
We are planning the international launch of the Next Generation
Perkins Brailler for early 2009. At that time we will make available a
list
of international resellers who will be selling the Next Generation Perkins
Brailler.
We invite you to visit PerkinsBrailler.org to learn more about the
new
brailler and the enhancements we have made. Also, listen to and download
the
Next Generation song, written by Raul Midón for the Next Generation
Perkins
Brailler.
All of us at Perkins are truly committed to braille literacy and we
are honored to support children and adults in learning and using braille
in
their daily lives. After working diligently on the reengineering of the
Perkins Brailler for two years, we are excited to offer the Next
Generation
Perkins Brailler and look forward to hearing from you.
