BraillePlace

 

BraillePlace, our new interpoint embosser with speeds of nearly 300 characters per second and a 45-character line, is serious productivity for serious Braille publishing. BraillePlace connects to any computer through its parallel or serial ports, uses the same keypad controls as all our other embossers, and includes ET Speaks to vocalize controls and do other audio tasks.

BraillePlace is large--58 inches high (147.3 cm)--and it requires a 220 volt electric line. We also ask that BraillePlace customers send a mechanically inclined trusted staff member to our plant for some brief training on how to keep BraillePlace at peak productivity.

If you're a Braille publisher growing too fast for your present equipment, our new BraillePlace might just be a perfect fit for you in the 21st century.
