[Blindmath] Braille Exam Papers

[Claire Shanks]

Good afternoon,

I have joined this list today and hoping someone may be able to offer me
guidance on Braille exam papers.  I have a new Physics student who is blind
and will require his exam papers in Braille.  As the papers include
diagrams and mathematical equations, it will cost approximately £1k per
exam paper to produce in the student's preferred format.  We are
considering purchasing our own Braille embosser with appropriate software
to produce this in-house and wondered whether anyone can advise on an
appropriate embosser or if there are other alternative solutions.

I look forward to hearing from you.  Many thanks.

Best wishes
Claire
