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?
