Braille and your PC

Refreshable Braille Displays

Adding a refreshable braille display to your computer will let you read the information on screen in braille. The display is placed next to the keyboard on your PC. It has a series of "cells" of eight pins which rise and fall to produce braille representations of the text on-screen. The drawback is that unfortunately braille displays can be extremely expensive.

Braille Embossers

These products act like a printer for your PC, but produce braille instead of print. They also require software to convert the file, although this is often included with the embosser.
