The audio begins with a soft introductory noise, followed by the rhythmic, quick tapping and clacking of keys from a Perkins Brailler. This device, similar to a typewriter but used for transcribing Braille, emits a distinctive mechanical sound as it is operated at a moderate to fast speed. There is no rustling or tearing of paper involved in this audio, suggesting that the Brailler is being used without paper. The continuous, rapid-fire sound of the keys being pressed underscores the skill and speed of the user. To the untrained ear, it may sound like an old-fashioned typewriter, but for those familiar with it, the sound of a Perkins Brailler in use is unmistakable. The audio is clear, captured with a Xoom H1n recorder, enhancing the sharp, resonant sounds of the Brailler. The audio ends with the fading echo of the last key pressed.
