[Menvi-discuss] Braille embossers

[Miranda]

Hi,
I can agree with you that in your situation an embosser may be a bit much
for the noise factor.
As for myself, I am married and we currently own our own home. When we move
for me to transfer to my bachelors, we will be in an apartment and it's my
understanding this is more like a town home situation rather than an
apartment in the same building complex as other apartments.
I am glad to hear of another's positive experience with the Juliet embosser
as well.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences, and have a
wonderful weekend!

In Christ, Miranda

Hi Miranda,

Definitely get DBT.  I actually had the same Juliette embosser in high
school and it worked wonderfully.  It worked really well with DBT and
Goodfeel for embossing music.
My disabilities services office uses a Tiger, although I'm not sure of the
exact model.  I am also not sure of the model number of the Romeo that the
music department has, although I could check if it would be helpful.  I
don't really use these embossers myself; there is a braillist in the
disabilities office and two students hired to work with Finale and Goodfeel
to produce my music files for textbooks and tests.  The braille I put out
myself is usually electronic so I don't produce any in embossed form right
now.
The point of view I'm coming from is that I live in a dorm room on campus.
The room is not big enough to house an embosser, nor do I think other people
I live with would appreciate the noise.  (They've gotten used to the Perkins
Brailler, but I don't know how an embosser would be received).  I don't know
if you're You sound like you're really taking everything into account, but
it might be something to think about when weighing your housing options for
university too.
