A Braille embosser is a computer printer printer , necessarily an impact printer , that renders text as tactile Braille cells. Using BrailletranslatorBraille translation software, a document can be embossed with relative ease, making Braille production much more efficient and cost effective. Blind users tend to call other printers ink printers , to distinguish them from their Braille counterparts. This is often the case regardless of the type of printer being discussed. As with ink printers and presses, embossers range from those intended for consumers to those used by large publishers. Thus, an embosser can cost roughly anywhere from US 2,000 to 80,000, depending on the user s needs. The fastest industrial Braille embosser is probably the 77,000 Belgian made NV Interpoint 55 , first produced in 1991, which uses a separate air compressor to drive the embossing head and can output up to 800 Braille characters per second.

It is used by touching the dial and noticing the embossments. Both analog and digital versions are available. The analog versions have a protective glass or crystal cover that is flipped open when time needs to be read and the clock hands are constructed to not be susceptible to movement at the mere touch of the finger that a blind person uses to observe their positions. In the other form, the dots like Braillebraille script keep changing position as time changes. In this case, one must understand the Braille alphabet to make use of such watches.
