[Blindtlk] Braillers

[Graves, Diane]

Not as far as I know. I still prefer my old tape slate and a stylus.

What someone should create is a label embosser, something you hook up to 
your computer, and then it will emboss the label on the tape and then 
automatically cut the label tape. Have something like a label making 
software you type what you want the label to say, hit enter and it will be 
automatically translated into grade 2 Braille and embossed onto the tape.

Does something like this exist?
