Printing

The method used to produce printed tactile output depends on how it will be used.

  • The most common tactile printing is Braille.  Braille, for those who can read it, allows quick consumption of content, though it is bulky.
  • Embossed text allows the same text to be read by blind and sighted readers, but is best used when only a small amount of text is being produced.
  • Not all computer output is in the form of language.  For drawings, graphs, and other non-text output, "tactile graphics" can be provided.
