Why the SMART Brailler?

Accelerates Learning: Encourages multi-sensory learning through visual, tactile and auditory feedback, increasing the student’s ability to process new information and making learning fun.
Lightens the Load: Weighs 20 percent less than the classic Perkins Brailler, making it easy to transport between home and classroom.
Integrates with Mainstream Technology: Edits, saves and transfers brailled documents to digital text files via USB, letting sighted teachers or parents read the document on a computer.
Involves Non-Braille Users: Enables better collaboration between students and sighted teachers or parents using Roman letters on the display screen to mirror what is being brailled.
Reliable Support: One year warranty and repair service training availability, ensuring that any problem with your product is resolved quickly.

"Make braille cool and fun"

“I sent the SMART Brailler to school with my daughter so that her Braille teacher can work with her on it and it has been absolutely awesome.”

Libby Leeds,
Lockport, NY

“This is a great innovation in braille learning for rehab agencies and their clients. The SMART Brailler is a great way for adults who have lost their vision later in life to learn braille.”

Dr. Bill Takeshita,
Pediatric Low Vision Optometrist

“This product really helps bridge the gap between sighted parents and blind children. I think it would make homework a lot less intimidating for parents.”
