If you have the art as pic file, you could paste the pic into Word and use Tiger Software Suite's plugin to print the document with a Tiger embosser. If the pic is black and white, it will raise the dots at different heights and create a tactile image for the end user.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys,

I'm working on a method of converting black and white graphics into Braille art. Does anyone here know any programs that currently do that?
