SpotDot EmFuse - Color Braille Station

Since the release of the original Emprint 4 years ago, we have revolutionized the way color ink and braille can be combined in the same document. The Emprint produced high quality color ink and braille in one pass bringing graphics to life for those who are blind or low vision. Later, the Emprint SpotDot® was released which was basically the same as the original Emprint, however the Emprint SpotDot had an improved user interface and embossed faster. This color ink and braille technology has become very popular among Tiger™ users but the need for a large format solution still lingers.

To fulfill this need, we are proud to announce the development of the SpotDot EmFuse Color Braille Station. The SpotDot EmFuse takes creating accessible documents to a whole new level. Combine the world's most advanced braille and tactile graphics technology with state-of-the-art color digital printing and get the only seamless, large-print color and braille production solution in the world.



The SpotDot EmFuse takes creating accessible documents to a whole new level. Creating braille books and magazines will soon be at the fingertips of all. We look forward to the release of the SpotDot EmFuse Color Braille Station sometime next year!

If you happen to come to CSUN in San Diego this year, please stop by our booth to see the first prototype!

ATIA Chicago 2009

The last week in October several of our employees flew to Chicago for ATIA's assistive technology conference.

When: October 29-31

Where: Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center, Schaumburg (Chicago), IL

The Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) is a non-profit organization that’s mission is "to serve as the collective voice of the assistive technology industry so that the best products and services are delivered to people with disabilities." For this reason, their shows have exhibitors demonstrating all sorts of assistive technologies, not just those dealing with blindness.

Overall the show was a great success. In our booth we had an Elite and Emprint embosser on display, as well as one of our desktop units. We also had drawings to give away a Tiger stuffed animal and an AGC as a part of our social media promotions.

At the show we had a chance to meet with several of our distributors and speak with many teachers and school districts interested in our products. There was also an opportunity for us to give a presentation about bringing IVEO and Daisy Books together and to demonstrate a potential new pen input device that would allow for IVEO to be easily portable. Daisy Books are unique digital audio books that allow the user to easily navigate pages. Combining IVEO with this technology would allow for tactile graphics to be added to Daisy Books, creating a more interactive experience.

This was ATIA's first year ever doing a show in Chicago. We had a great time and are planning on attending their Chicago show again next year. ATIA's next event is ATIA Orlando on January 28-30. Hope to see you there!
