[Audyssey] embosser noise - Re: braille/large print/other media for audio games (was info games game engines)

Mine isn't nearly as loud as some of the others apparently are. And I've got it working after a bit of working with it this afternoon. When it's embossing, it sounds like it's ripping heavy paper, and I can't be on the phone in the same room with it, but it's OK if I go into the living room.

Re: [Audyssey] braille/large print/other media for audio games (was info games game engines)

Hi John, Yes, those braille embossers are very loud. Loud enough that when its running it is best to put it as far away as possible while it is running because it will drowned out the sound of anything you might be doing be it TV, radio, your favorite audio book, etc. As has been stated normal vol
