Braille Writer Finger Guide

By Jim Allan

at 2024-05-02
Sometimes when young students are first learning braille they will try to use multiple fingers to press a key. Or, they will shift their hands or fingers left or right to hit a key with their index or middle finger. This behavior will result in poor brailling habits and braille errors. The guide has vertical blades that make it more difficult for students to use non-standard fingering on the braille writer. The guide slides under the keys on the braille writer. It does not interfere with the operation of the keys or the quality of the braille produced. It has been tested on old and new braille writers. The guide has double curved blades () or bowed blades with supports at the base of the blades. The blades are the same width as the base. The guide should be printed with the blades horizontal to the build plate for maximum strength. Added a revised finger guide for Smart Brailler and the Perkins/APH brailler. They have the same key placement.

Boat upholstery requires a special type of fabric that can withstand the harsh marine environment. Upholstery sewing machines can handle these fabrics, allowing you to create new boat cushions or reupholster your boat seats. <a href="https://sofiasewing.com/best-sewing-machine-for-denim/">reference</a>

Ordering personal statements on a website proved to be a valuable resource in showcasing my passion and commitment to my chosen field of study. The website's [write a personal statement](https://www.personalstatementwriter.org/) for me writers had extensive knowledge and expertise in various academic disciplines, allowing them to tailor my personal statements to specific programs and universities. Through effective communication and collaboration, the writer was able to highlight my academic achievements, research experience, and future goals in a coherent and persuasive manner. The website's commitment to excellence and their ability to bring out the best in my personal statements exceeded my expectations.

Well, this was the old time when the writer used this type of typing machine to write their stories on paper.

@bobbyfish I found a Smart Brailler, the new design is posted (Braille Writer Guide Smart Aph). The new design also works with Perkins/APH braillers. Thanks for the idea.

@bobbyfish I am happy to make that. I don't have a Smart Brailler available. I think that the current guide is too wide (front to back), and perhaps too long (left to right). If you can send me the internal length and width of the well under the keys, I can have it posted quickly.

This works great but doesn’t fit the smart brailler. Could you make another design for a finger guide for the smart brailler?

Well, this was the old time when the writer used this type of typing machine to write their stories on paper. If a student wants to invest less time and writing batter on that machine, then use the right fingers to the correct keys or <a href="https://translatehub.org/is-english-hard-to-learn/">go to blog article</a> over here to understand how you can get a grip on the typing machine.

Loved this build - worked amazing for my student's Smart Brailler - the design itself was too big for my printer, so I sliced it in half and printed it twice. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much for creating this amazing build!
