Electric Perkins Brailler
Electric Perkins Brailler
The Electric Perkins Brailler is a "Braille typewriter" with a key corresponding to each of the six dots of the Braille code, a space key, a backspace key, and a line space key. The Electric Perkins is just like the Perkins Brailler in very way, except it uses power to help make the process of pressing the braille keys easier. With a much lighter touch, the Electric Perkins Brailler allows users who get fatigued easily or who have low muscle tone to be able to emboss their own Braille.

Below are video guides on how to load and remove the paper in a Perkins Brailler and how to recognise when the end of a line is coming and to return the embossing head to its original start position. The same process can be applied to the Electric Perkins Brailler.
