The Boston Globe has a story this morning on the new and improved Perkins Brailler . Anyone who has used one of these stalwarts of access knows they are not the most user friendly for our 21st century ultra portable ideal of communication. While others have been mucking about with trying to add text to speech to cell phones , or make DAISY players that are unplugged on the go, or even tactile electronic paper , the engineers over at Perkins have been quietly redesigning and improving the most solid, most reliable, and most fundamental access tool of them all.
