[Blindmath] Braille and graphics embosser suggestions?

[George Bell]

I'd better say up front that this is a commercial reply, but based on almost 30 years of being involved with braille here in the UK and abroad.

A combination of Enabling's Phoenix which comes with graphic software, and Duxbury, along with MathType in Word has proved a successful and economical option.

Subject: [Blindmath] Braille and graphics embosser suggestions?

Hi,
Does anyone have a low-end Braille and tactile graphics embosser they like and would recommend? We are looking into purchasing one that would produce just around 20-50 STEM related handouts for a single student per week. So far we're leaning towards at Enabling Technologies' Phoenix embosser, View Plus' Tiger Max or Spot Dot, and Index's Everest or Basic embossers. A couple people mentioned View Plu's low-end embosser Embraille to me originally, but I was recently advised by the company that might not be high enough quality for science materials.. Does anyone have experience with this? Also, I'm wondering if people recommend View Plus' software Tiger over Enabling Tech's Firebird Suite or Index's Tactile View, especially related to producing labels in Nemeth if I don't know Nemeth.

Thanks,

Gabriela
