So has anyone on this forum used the electric perkins brailler? What do you like about it versus a regular manual perkins brailler? I got to use one back in 2011, and it was like writing using a brailleNote or braille display with a perkins keyboard. I could write braille a lot faster with it than I could with the regular manual brailler. I'm thinking of saving money and getting an electric perkins brailler, because sometimes if I try writing real fast the keys on the manual brailler can temporarily lock up. And if I remember correctly, the electric perkins brailler sort of sounds like a braille embosser. So how many of you have the electric perkins brailler, and what do you like about it? Also, when was the electric perkins brailler invented, and by who? I also looked at its parts list and it uses solenoids like a braille embosser, sort of, at least for punching or hammering the styluses into the paper. And if I remember correctly, the electric perkins brailler is also quite a bit louder than a manual brailler, probably as loud as a computer braille embosser. And it is the only brailler that comes with a felt pad you can put under it to try to lessen the sound. But I would not use the felt pad because I like things that are loud.
