Go up on pdh's web site and under other products they have the Mountbatton
and what they have to say about it is absolutely fascinating.
I tell you had my Mother had one of those machines when I was in school a
heck of a lot of problems would have been solved. Mother refused to learn
Braille and I still argu with the educators who are still around about it.
They still 3 years after Mother has passed on, maintain that she would have
been a great deal more help to me had she learned Braille but I maintain the
biggest favor she ever did was not learning Braille because then I had to
learn and perfect my typing skills at an extremely early age.
That way, I was freed up in high school to take the necessary college prep
subjects I needed for college.

Hi, you're right; for teaching young kids, the MB is awesome. It's fun
and it gives immediate, and it sets kids up to learn and be ready for the
BN
very early on since they've learned to love technology. We have very
early
readers learning with both.

Hi all,
I just saw the Mount Batten Brailler at a demo. It is not meant for
adult braillists or people who are braille literate. Its market is
elementary school children who are learning braille. It is designed
to teach the writing of Braille, not as a printer or as an actual
full-fledged brailler. Maybe if the people you dealt with who tried
to get you to buy one had explained this, it might have been a better
thing.
It's good for what it does, but I'm not sure I'd want to spend all the
money for a tool like that unless I had a classroom of blind kids or
was an itinerant teacher.
