> Two new products help the blind bridge the Digital Divide!
>
> 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.
