Introduction

Presentation

DesktopBrailleRAP is a page composition tool designed to create tactile documents embossed on a BrailleRAP embosser. By tangible documents, we mean documents that contain embossed graphics with Braille annotations. To remind you, BrailleRAP is a DIY (Do It Yourself) open source embosser that allows you to create Braille documents but also to emboss graphics.

Here are some examples of documents created with DesktopBrailleRAP and a BrailleRAP:
