Braille Gen
The Trusted Name in 3D Braille Generation
Braille Gen is an application that effortlessly generates high quality 3D printed Braille. The end user can type in one word, a phrase, or a paragraph and Braille Gen will translate with the open source LibLouis tables to English uncontracted, English contracted, and many other languages. You can trust the Braille translation! With ‘slab’ mode, your Braille will have an orientation notch on the top right. Directly 3D print your Braille label or add it to any other design. Braille Gen is also screen reader friendly. Our goal is to democratize Braille by making it possible for anyone to create a Braille note. There are an estimated one million 3D printers in use in the United States! Easy Access to 3D printers will make printing Braille Gen labels, signage, and designs affordable and quick.
