Braille Embossers


Accessibility to all is a part of ensuring social justice amongst all, and through the use of braille embosser equity is reached. A braille embosser is a form of assistive technology that generates printed material through the use of the braille writing system for the visually impaired users. The mechanics allows for the user to "press down onto a piece of paper to let a person using the braille system read by using their finger" [3] Also known as braille printers, they receive information from computer devices, and print them on special heavyweight paper in order to accommodate the use of solenoids and embossing pins for readers. [4] Interestingly enough, the price of a braille printer is associated with the volume of braille produces, it is for that reason the starting price is from $1,800, and could reach up to $80,000. [4]
