Hi Darren.
I agree. The ironic thing is a pen friend will cost you 50 quid, and is the
size of a large felt tip pen.
Sinse getting one it's really made me question the point of braille.
Beware the Grue!

Hi tom
I agree with dark in that the cost of braille devices is still way beyond
the average person's means. Basically braille is being killed by the price
tag attached to it.
Take a brailler for example, they are about £400 or something like that
anyway. they aren't portable, they're clunky, noisy and these days quite
flimsy if what I'm told of the new moddles are true. You can't use them for
anything other than writing, so basically you're paying all that money for a
6 pronged pen.
As for braille displays, they are just as expensive. Using out of date
technology with an absolute ridiculous price tag and as for maintenance
costs? Is it any wonder braille is dying?
