Logan® BrailleCoach™ Instruction Manual revision 2.0
Customizing Sound Tags
Blank Sound Tags are available for purchase. These tags can be used for any word or phrase. There
are no preset sounds associated with these tags.
You may apply custom Braille labels or other tactile symbols to Sound Tags. Sound Tags are very robust
and can withstand lots of abuse.
Making Custom Tags
Step by step instructions on how to record a new sound on a blank tag
( you will need BrailleCoach, blank tag and Programming tags)
1. Locate the RECORD Tag and a blank Sound Tag.
2. Apply a Braille or tactile symbol label to the blank Sound Tag.
3. Place the RECORD tag onto the target area. Press the activation button.
4. Remove the RECORD tag from the target area.
5. Place the Sound Tag to be recorded onto the target area. Press the activation button and hold it.
6. Once the instructions end and the tone is heard begin speaking the word or phrase to be recorded.
7. Release the activation button when you have finished speaking.
8. The Sound Tag will now play the recorded message when placed on the target area and
the activation button is pressed.
Note: By default the BrailleCoach™ teaching device will record a 2-second sound (if you press and release
the activation button in step 7). However, if you press and hold the blank tag you can extend the recording
time up to 8 seconds.
To re-record a sound on a previously programmed tag
Any tag can have its sound replaced – whether it is a pre-programmed Sound Tag or a customized blank
Sound Tag. The steps required to re-record are identical to creating a new tag. Follow steps 1-10 above.
Returning a Sound Tag to its original Sound
1. Locate the ERASE Tag and the Sound Tag you want to reset to its original sound.
2. Place the ERASE Tag onto the target area. Press and release the activation button.
3. Remove the ERASE Tag from the target area.
4. Place the Sound Tag to be erased onto the target area. Press the activation button.
6. The Sound Tag has been erased.
Note: If you erase a pre-recorded Sound Tag it will return to its original sound. If you erase a blank sound
tag that you had customized it will return to having no sound. Be sure to remove your custom label.
Changing the Mode
The BrailleCoach™ teaching device has three “Mode” settings. You can change modes by placing the
MODE tag onto the target area and pressing the activation button.
1. MODE 1: Letters and Dots. This mode will play the letter and the dot positions when a standard Braille
Sound Tag is presented. This is to allow the user to learn the letter and its associated dot pattern.
Having the dot pattern called out helps reinforce the tactile pattern.
2. MODE 2: Letters only. This mode only plays the letter name when the standard Braille Sound Tag is
activated. This allows the user to try to recall the dot pattern without being reminded of it.
3. MODE 3: Letters and Words. This mode introduces the user to Grade 2 Braille by playing the letter
and its single letter contraction. Most Braille letters have a short hand Grade 2 word associated with
them but there are a few exceptions. The word is also printed out in full on the lower portion of the tag
so the user can learn to read the entire word in Braille as well.
Note: MODE 1 is the default setting and all units are shipped in MODE 1.
