About Perkins Braillers

The Perkins Brailler® is the most widely used brailler in the world. More than 300,000 braillers have been sold to over 170 countries. Invented in 1951 by David Abraham, a teacher at Perkins School for the Blind. It has withstood the test of time, owing to its great durability, reliability and ease of use.

New versions of the brailler have been added including an electric brailler for increased speed with less effort, a light-touch brailler which requires less finger pressure, a unimanual brailler for those who can only use one hand, and a large cell brailler for those who have tactile problems.
