I, ahem, SEE what you did there.]]>Sep 26th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/Sep 26th 2009 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/
You'll find that oftentimes blind people are very self-reliant and independent, wanting to do as many things as they can by themselves. With this labeler they can, faster and more efficiently than with other labelers (which are either hacked versions of Dymo labelers or labelers that can only be used by sighted people).

Last year we printed dozens of these labels and put them all over our dorm, it's a pretty robust tool and it's very useful. Congratulations guys!]]>Sep 26th 2009 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/Sep 26th 2009 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/Sep 26th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/Sep 26th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/Sep 26th 2009 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/

Cool device, though.]]>Sep 28th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/mit-develops-new-6dot-braille-labelmaker-prototype/"As suggested by the parents and teachers whom we met at the CTEVH conference, the 6dot could have a significant impact on a child’s literary development. Teachers discussed their common practice of affixing Braille labels onto every item in a classroom to create a Braille-rich environment and facilitate learning."
This device could change that statistic!]]>Sep 29th 2009 2:48PM
