Reviewing the Braille Coach, a perfect companion to a label maker

A few months ago, I reviewed a label maker by Logan Tech which really raised the bar on how labels are created in terms of both ease of creation and the resulting crispness. While perhaps out of the price range for some, I still considered it a worthwhile investment which would enrich your life, well, for a lifetime of Braille. That’s both important and powerful to me.

But what if you don’t yet know Braille? Label makers become useless for this target of the population, unless, of course, you can also teach them how to fish. (Or in our case, read Braille.)

You have the option of buying both the Braille Coach and label maker as a combo, or Buy the coach learning system alone. It is true that the Braille Coach is significantly greater of an investment than the label maker, however it is also one of the best transition-aids to Braille as you get an entire RFID-reading system for pre-recording your own voice tags. For some, having speech as well as the tactile feedback could significantly improve the learning of Braille.

Dive into this podcast to find out how the system works and the ways in which it can help perhaps enhance your life.
