Clarification of Tiger

Braille Embosser Review

In the February 2004 issue

of the Braille Monitor, we published an article about Tiger Braille embossers

manufactured by Viewplus Technology. The review included extended verbatim excerpts

from the manufacturer's advertising material. Because of this, a casual reading

of the article could have led to the impression that we endorse categorically

the statements contained in the advertising material.

Technology

reviews performed at the International Braille and Technology Center of the

National Federation of the Blind will contain our findings of the performance

of products under review. In most circumstances we will not incorporate into

our reviews extended quotations of advertising materials.

The National Federation

of the Blind International Braille and Technology Center exists to help consumers

learn about equipment available to provide access to information. It is also

used to provide training in the operation of access technology and to stimulate

the development of additional equipment that is needed. In performing technology

reviews, we seek the objective of an unbiased evaluation of hardware and software

based upon the performance of these products.
