[Trainer-talk] Any tactile or embosser methods for using PowerPoint?Braille

[Milesmatte]

Hello Phil,
From PowerPoint you can directly send to the tiger cub to emboss. The diagrams in graphics will be embossed. Any text will be embossed as printed text, not braille. To translate the text into braille you'll need to use word.
If used the option to print to file, you can use the graphic software that is included with the tiger cub to embellish your actual graphics. 
The most time-consuming part of this would be converting the text to braille. It can be done, and it just takes a little adjusting.


Best regards, 
Miles Matte
