Hi Helga,

Do you use the braille display on your Apex?  It's not the same as
hard copy braille in the sense that it's not tangible persay, but all
the same the braille is there.  Most people don't use the braille
embossers much when they have refreshable displays is because they're
very expensive as Anna said,, and because the braille can already be
read on the Apex itself.  Have you tried reading that way?

Hope this helps.
