[Blindmath] which embosser and software needed for embossing geometry?

[John Gardner]

Hello Iqbal.  Almost any modern braille embosser can emboss graphic figures,
but only the ViewPlus (Tiger) embossers can emboss from standard graphics
applications.  A trained person can use special software, such as QuickTac
from Duxbury to create files that can be embossed on standard embossers,
with resolution of typically ten dots per inch.  The ViewPlus embossers can
emboss graphics made in any standard computer application such as MS Word,
so relatively little special training is needed to make those tactile
geometric images.  Tiger resolution is also better - 20 dots per inch.

As most people on this list know, I am president of ViewPlus, so my advice
arises from that perspective.  I know that Neal Kuniansky from Duxbury is
also on the list, and I hope he can post a note on using QuickTac.
Probability is  higher that your NGO friends will have a standard embosser
than a Tiger.
