Webinar: IRIE Braille Buddy – Personal Braille Embosser

Join us to see the IRIE Braille Buddy in action; the world’s most affordable and portable braille embosser. Blind children need braille to be literate and need tactile graphics to learn structure and study STEM subjects. Yet, the cost of a braille embosser/printer can be cost-prohibitive for parents of blind children, and even for many schools; particularly an embosser that can emboss both braille and tactile graphics effectively.

The IRIE Braille Buddy does it all, for less than half the price of most desktop embossers. It can emboss braille and tactile graphics and can use both cut-sheet and tractor fed paper. The Braille Buddy even comes with braille and tactile graphics software, included.

The IRIE Braille Buddy is also portable and has an optional rolling carry case. So, you can easily move it between school and home.

We will be joined by a special guest panelist, Jina Kang; parent of a 3-year-old blind child and active user of the IRIE Braille Buddy embosser. Jina will demonstrate some tips and tricks that she has learned in using her Braille Buddy embosser for transcribing books for her child.

In today’s “new normal”, the need for such an affordable and portable braille printer has never been greater. Join us to learn how the IRIE Braille Buddy could be a cost-effective option for you to bring more braille (and literacy) into the lives of the blind children around you.
