Download Perky Duck from the Duxbury site for practice and to do your lessons. Surely you can email the files to your local school for the blind for embossing. You don't have to send the LOC your lessons in hard copy braille. I've taught a number of classes with students using Perky Duck.

I don't have Duxbury on my home PC or a braille embosser at home. I need to work on my manual brailling anyway, but thanks for the suggestion.

you don't need Duxbury. Perky Duck is a free download for those learning braille!

I think she wants to be able to print braille on the brailler.

Believe me, once you stop using the brailler for a long period of time, you forget how to use it.

I struggled on remembering where to push down on the keys. I'm great with dot numbers in my head, but I spent like 2 hrs printing hard copies via the brailler. Not alot of facilities have a embosser.

But now that I've moved, I know someone who can emboss stuff in braille for me whenever I need it.

Perhaps ebay? Seems that in the past when I've checked, the prices do get up pretty high, but you might get lucky some day. :)
