Embossing speed
With the new Mountbatten Brailler Tutor, you can set embossing speed by keeping the Esc
key pressed and turning the volume dial. Alternatively - Esc key and four-way manipulator
up and down.
This adjustment cannot be performed while the machine is embossing.
Using the keyboard for typing and controlling your device
Writing braille with Mountbatten Brailler keyboard
Mountbatten Brailler Tutor has an eight-dot keyboard good for languages and braille tables
that use 8-dot braille or 6-dot braille. 8-dot braille is sometimes used for technical
materials.
Use the six braille keys in precisely the same way as you would type on a regular braille
writer. Whatever you type will be embossed on paper. If you need eight keys for eight dot
braille - use all 8. To use 6 or 8 dots, you need to set language with the appropriate braille
table.
How to move around the page
A simple pressing combination of keys offers unparalleled ease of movement around the
page. This is of particular importance for setting out math problems and columns.
4-way Down or Space-Enter = Move a line down the page in same
column
4-way manipulator Up = Move a line up the page in the same
column
P-chord (Space+P letter) = Page Eject
Tab = Move the head to next tab position
Space = Move one position right
BS = Move one position left and erase character
at that position (the erasure happens after you type next
character - see below)
Erasing and correction
Your Mountbatten can erase or correct mistakes. The quality of the corrections is
approximately the same as for the ‘fingernail method’ and depends on the quality of the
paper used.
Erasing
BS = moves one space to the left and prepares for the last character erasure;
the next character will replace the one already there
BS+Space = replaces a character with a space
BS+Correct Dots = replaces a character with your desired character
Keyboard Echo
When you braille, the Tutor will speak the letters being brailled; it can also translate braille
