Hi, Bonnie!
Well, I've done some things with NFBTrans, but though I know
nothing about the Perky--I use a VersaPoint, I think it is
limited.  I've not heard of any updates to it for a long time;
however, the Turbo Braille is always being updated.  I think the
library in Denver or which ever group is headed by
Priscilla--sorry, don't know her last name, heads has Turbo
Braille.  As I said, it seems much more flexible as far as
correcting Grade II translation errors.  I think NFBtrans seems
more like something a transcriber would use.  Maybe someone else
here can help and I'd be interested, too.  I do word processing
and braille transcription at home, so I'm always interested in
comments on braille translators and printers.  Please share what
your research reveals.
Take care,
Linda
