>produced with a braille embosser attached to a personal computer.  The
>braille embosser was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
>in the late 1960's.  This vital piece of equipment has changed very little

>equipment.  The Tiger Advantage -- a new braille and tactile graphics
>embosser -- lets the blind use popular computer software like Microsoft
>Word and Microsoft Excel to write and immediately emboss documents.  Tiger
>Advantage embosses quality graphics, at 20 dots-per-inch, directly from any
>Windows application that will print to a Windows printer.

>Till now, the blind had virtually no access to state maps, college campus
>maps, and transit maps.  Now, Letter Art, a commercial sign layout program
>includes a braille feature.  Sighted users can draw a sign, map, and much
>more and have Letter Art automatically provide braille labels.  Letter Art
>can print a copy of a map or diagram and then have Tiger Advantage emboss
>the same information to achieve a document with print and braille.
