Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library

Learn how to use TactileView software to import images and prepare them to
be embossed, or to create your own designs from scratch (by drawing or using

menu-driven design). Get to know the Index Everest embosser that turns your
designs, maps or graphs into tactile images. Discover catalogs of
ready-to-emboss

tactile designs that you can download and modify according to your
needs. Please register by emailing

This workshop is part of the Dimensions project - bringing free tactile
