Braille can be produced manually, using a braille writer or slate and stylus, or it can be produced electronically, using a computer, special translation software, such as Duxbury, and a braille embosser.

You can create materials yourself or use the services of a teacher of the blind and visually impaired or certified braille transcriber.
