Perkins-APH Brailler
The classic Perkins Brailler® has been reimagined, retaining all the attributes that make it the most widely used braillewriter in the world. The new Perkins-APH Brailler is quieter, lighter, and more comfortable for brailling. It includes functions that YOU asked for: a built-in eraser, a way to read the page easily while writing, a shorter keystroke requiring less force, and margin guides on the front.
And there’s more...the Perkins-APH Brailler features a sleek design with tactile elements, environmentally-friendly materials, and an APH Blue color. The brailler has an Easy-Grip handle and accommodates standard 8 1/2 inch wide paper.
