this is a pocket braille frame with stylus and notepad. the pad has 1 or 2 pages in where i have attempted to write braille on it but otherwise as new. £5. product description from www.rnib.org.uk is:
This small, lightweight upward writing frame uses a unique hollow-ended stylus to produce the dots. Braille is written from left to right, so you don't have to worry about reversing characters as you write or having to turn the paper over to read what you have written! Ideal for all braille writers as well as sighted friends and family to leave notes.
Would you mind explaining how that works? That you don't have to write backwards? Are you pressing a hollowed tip over a metallic dot, is that it? Fascinating concept. I'm in the U.S. so paying for the shipping would out-cost the item, but interesting.
well, if i could explain it i would. truth is, i couldn't make it work. you kind of have to know the exact placement of the dot you want, since all they give you is a rectangle the width of a 6 dot cell. I haven't got it infrot of me, but as far as I know, your pressing the hollow stylus onto a metal prong but don't quote me on that. i gave up, and put it on here hoping someone would be more clever than me! lol
What's the size of the frame?
