TIGER ADVANTAGE

Many blind students and professionals rely on braille to read educational
and work-related documents.  Braille versions of these documents are
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
over the past 3 decades.  Now, braille enters a new millennium with new
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.

LETTER ART

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.

Call or email for sample braille maps, brochures and prices.
