Mountbatten Brailler Machine
What does it do?
This machine allows for students who are blind or visually impaired, to turn their handwriting into braille. The machine transfers the pushing of various buttons on it into printed and 3-dimensional braille on the paper. Students with this machine can use this to keep up with their classmates curriculum wise. This machine can also help students learn and get accustomed to braille if their eye-sight progressively gets worse.
