Talking tape measure vs braille tape measure (self.Blind)
submitted by blind_cowboy
As someone who has had talking ones, had another one break, and is considering switching to braille i wanted the opinions of the masses, however limited those masses may be, who have used both.

Never liked the braille tape measure so switched to the talking one. Much better and easier to use.

Well I don't regularly work with measuring but I prefer Braille for everything else so I would imagine for me personally I would want a Braille tape measurer.

Tried the Measure app on an iPhone? Or something similar on Android?

I tried flying rooler and got different measurements every time even after multiple calibrations. I tried measure when it first came out and didn’t have much luck.

If you want a tactile experience have you looked into a click rule?
They are accurate down to a 16th of an inch with a 6 inch extensions

They are made by a company called Community Advocates in Omaha. Good for measurements up to a meter with millimeter accuracy. You have to order by phone.

The only place I know that you can buy them available to the public is NFB‘s independence market
