Braille embossers are "printers" for Braille. Whereas a printer adds ink to a page to make visible characters, an embosser creates raised dots on a page to form braille characters.

Some embossers even combine ink printing and Braille embossing on a single page, creating documents that can be read both via sight and via touch.

HumanWare offers both advanced - high-capacity, feature-rich - and more affordable embossers.
