The Tiger Braille Dot has a lot to offer. Here's how it can benefit you:

  • Preferred Shape

    Tiger Technology, known for producing superior high resolution graphics, has now been re-designed for better braille readability. This new braille dot is smoother to the touch, making frequent and extended braille reading more enjoyable while maintaining Tiger’s unmatched detail in producing tactile graphics.

  • Customizable Height

    Tiger offers three different braille dot heights allowing users to customize their documents to better suit individual needs. This means that users who have greater sensitivity can lower the braille dot height to a more comfortable level and braille readers with less sensitivity who often find conventional braille unreadable can raise the dot height offering greater flexibility for all.

  • Enhanced Durability

    The Tiger braille dot employs a pyramid-like shape making it more durable than conventional braille while continuing to maintain perfect braille spacing. Tests prove that the unique shape keeps the dot from easily tearing and allows users to stack document without compromising the height of the dot. This ultimately allows documents to last longer over time.
