Assistive Technology

Braille embossers emboss information onto specialized heavyweight paper that they receive from computers, braille notetakers, mobile devices, or flash drives. Braille embossers can emboss single-sided or double-sided (called interpoint), and can produce 6- or 8-dot braille. Speed of printing, line width, and weight of braille paper are all differentiating factors for embossers. Some Embossers may also produce Tactile images , some may also produce ink and braille information at the same time.

Home Use, Libraries, Schools, public printing centres, Universities.

Used to Produce Tactile graphics, including tactile pictures, tactile diagrams, tactile maps, and tactile graphs, images that use raised surfaces so that a visually impaired person can feel them. They are used to convey non-textual information such as maps, paintings, graphs and diagrams. Tactile graphics can be seen as a subset of accessible images. Best used inside specialised schools for visually impaired students to teach multiple subjects, such as Maps for geography, science subjects, Mathematic graphs as well as various kinds of images.
