[nabs-l] tiger braille software

[alena roberts]

Ashley,

I was in charge of doing social media for them. The tiger software works in microsoft word so it uses their menus and it's own. There are shortcuts, and if you know word, than tiger translation will be easy to use. It can make tactile representations of pictures. That's what the specialty of the tiger embossers is. The dots can have different heights, so that's what gives contrast to the graphics. Does this answer your questions?

It will translate graphics into tactile graphics, but if you don't have any vision than you won't be able to manipulate the graphics to be changed for the highest contrast. Let me know if you have any other specific questions, and I will do my best to answer them. Which tiger embosser will you be using?
