A PRODUCT FOR ALL AGES
By Gail Yarnell

Two years ago at the New England AER I had my first glimpse of what I knew was a product
that would greatly affect blind people of all ages.  At this time I was the New England
representative for Telesesensory but I was about to start my own business.  I wanted to sell the
best products to meet the needs of a wide variety of consumers.  I knew immediately that I
wanted to sell the Tactile Image Enhancer.  I literally hounded Dave for the next six months until
the product was completed.  After endless nagging he allowed me to sell the Image Enhancer.
Now, I suppose turn about is fair play.  The first BUMPY newsletter is a reality and Dave has
nagged me constantly to write something.  I don't like to write, I like to play with the latest
technology.  Oh well, I guess I owe him one.
     Dave asked me to tell some stories about people in my area using the Image Enhancer.  I have
two stories to tell and they really show how this product spans all ages.
     Last summer I spent an afternoon at summer camp in New Hampshire.  This was a camp for
blind children.  The Image Enhancer also went to camp.  I borrowed cookie cutters from a friend
who had quite a collection.  We let the kids draw around the outside edges of everything from
hearts to flowers.  Then we ran the pictures through the Enhancer and let the crowd color them
in.  They had fun figuring out where noses went on faces and where ornaments went on Christmas
trees.  This event was a great hit.  The only down side was it took a little scrubbing to get the ink
off the cookie cutters.
     Maine Center for the Blind bought one of the first Image Enhancers.  They use it constantly
for a variety of purposes.  One of my favorites occurred during the first month they had the unit.
A board meeting was taking place.  Several of the board members are blind or visually impaired.
Someone had prepared a presentation and the text was prepared in braille.  The sighted board
members had flow charts that explained things instantly.  The blind people were complaining
because they had to read all the text to acquire the same information.  Mary Beth Walsh, the
Maine technology specialist was present.  She took one of the flow charts
and asked people to wait just a few minutes.  In less than five minutes, she returned with raised
line copies of the flow chart.  Everyone was very impressed.
     I think these stories really bring home my point.  This is a product that adds to the lives of all
blind people, no matter how old they are or what they are doing with their lives.  I feel privileged
to be able to represent Repro-Tronics and sell this wonderful product.

WHY STUDY GRAPHICS
By Tim Connell

     Children who are blind and visually impaired have major problems in two fundamental
activities in life, communication and mobility.  The study, understanding, and use of tactile
graphics plays a vital role in both of these areas.  If blind and visually impaired students do not
understand the graphical concepts used in everyday life, the barrier to their full participation in
society is increased.
     In education, the use of graphics has increased dramatically.  Textbooks, especially in the
sciences, were once predominantly text with a few diagrams.  Now they are predominantly
graphics with text playing a supporting role.  Job opportunities in the decades to come will
require subjects that have a high graphical content, such as science and mathematics.
     If blind students are not equipped with the skills to study subjects that have a lot of graphics,
they will be denied the opportunity to fully participate in education and employment.
     Graphics also play a vital role in mobility.  To move through an environment requires an
understanding of a range of graphical concepts.  A sighted child learns most of these casually,
from observation.  A blind child has to be taught them.
     But why are tactile graphics becoming such an issue now?

-    The provision of suitable tactile graphics for a  student in a mainstream setting is
     not always easy or straightforward.

-    While it can be assumed that the majority of text-based information can be made
     available for education, this is not true for graphics.  There is simply a lack of
     basic reference material available.

-    As information increasingly is being presented in a graphical format, our language changes
to accommodate it.  No longer is a window a pane of glass, or an icon a popular movie star.

-    And  most importantly, we now have a small, but vocal, chorus of blind professionals who
have excelled in non-traditional areas.  People such as Dr. Larry Scadden of the National
Science Foundation, Dr. Tim Cranmer of NFB, Professor John Gardner of Oregon, and
Professor Reg Golledge of California are a few of the growing number of blind individuals who
are testaments to the fact that blind people can use graphical information.

     Despite this, there are still some people who believe that blind people do not need to study
graphics because "they will never have a use for them".  This is a self perpetuating philosophy that
is based on the notion that a physical impairment implies an intellectual impairment.
     How do we provide the opportunities for blind students to develop good tactile graphic
reading skills?  There are many things to consider here, including the level of training and support
from a qualified vision professional, the home environment, and the funding and resources
provided by government.
     However, our own Tactile Image Enhancer and Flexi-Paper have an important role to play.
The use of Flexi-Paper and the TIE eliminated the large investment in time that traditional tactile
graphics requires.  Good quality tactile graphics can be made in minutes.
     Teachers, parents, relatives or friends, can draw directly onto the Flexi-Paper, or photocopy an
image onto it.  The Tactile Image Enhancer is used to automatically provide uniform heat to the
Flexi-Paper.  Once the image is on the paper, it is fed into the Tactile Image Enhancer, in a similar
fashion to a photocopier.  It takes only 12 seconds to treat an A4 page.
     Using Flexi-Paper and the Tactile Image Enhancer, teachers can quickly prepare tactile
diagrams, and present graphical information and concepts just when they are needed.
     If children from the earliest possible age have the opportunity to use tactile graphics, they can
develop an extended tactile vocabulary, which is the first step in making graphical information
accessible.  It is a small step, but a critical one.
     There is no point in trying to teach a 12 year old how to interpret a tactile map, if they are
feeling it for the first time.  Let's face it, how many sighted people can read hieroglyphics for the
first time?  It takes training and practice.      TheTactile Image Enhancer and Flexi-Paper can
make that training and practice a quick and inexpensive reality.

REPRO-TRONICS PRODUCT LINE
By DAVE Skrivanek

 Tactile Image Enhancer - Flexi-Paper  -  Thermo Pen   -  Message Mate   = Bumpy Pictures
     The Tactile Image Enhancer and Flexi-Paper are two products developed by LINE
Repro-Tronics to facilitate the easy and quick generation of tactile documents.
These documents can be Mobility Maps, teaching aids, illustrations from textbooks, math, music,
or nearly anything to accommodate a blind persons tactile need.
     -The process is this simple:
     - Image a piece of Flexi-Paper by passing it through an office copier, writing upon it with a
permanent marker or grease pencil, or trace onto it through black carbon paper. Once imaged
place the paper on the feed table of the Tactile Image Enhancer and feed it in.  In 12 seconds the
paper emerges into the exit tray and the image is raised.
     - Flexi-Paper is the most unique product to emerge upon the blindness market .The properties
of Flexi-Paper allow that once it is imaged and raised it can be folded or crumbled without
affecting the tactile.
     -The Thermo-Pen  is an electric pen that will activate Flexi-Paper by simply writing directly on
it.
     -Megg Message Mate is a small motion sensitive device.  A voice  message can be dictated
into it and then the Megg Message Mate can be placed on a door (or similar place) When the door
is moved the message is activated.
     -Bumpy Pictures is a computer program developer by Dr. Don Parks in Australia. This is a
DOS program that has two distinct sections. A description of Bumpy Pictures is in the next article
authored by Dr. Parks.

BUMPY PICTURES? WHY NOT? CAN'T ANYONE DRAW? AudioCAD and AudioPIX
By Dr. Don Parks

Introduction
     In the summer 1995 issue of the magazine of the World Blind Union, "The World Blind", Dr.
Tim Cranmer, Chair of the National Federation of the Blind's Research and Development
Committee, wrote, "This, then, is our challenge: to devise tools and effective techniques for
presenting graphical information in a tactile format...".  Perhaps AudioCAD and AudioPIX,
through Bumpy Pictures will be a helpful step in this direction.  We feel that the opportunity
provided to enable blind people to express their graphicacy is extremely important as it will in
itself lead to greater graphical competence.
     In the JVIB May-June 995 issue, Volume 89, Number 3, the drawings of a deaf-blind child are
presented by her mother.  We plan to produce a version of Bumpy Pictures which will enable use
of a Braille display rather than synthesized or digitized voice and this will enable the talents that
this child already has, to be developed even further.
Precision drawing and sketching
     CA D is a well know acronym for Computer Aided Design.  It is now also an acronym for
Can't Anyone Draw?  since the arrival of AudioCAD. One of two graphics programs in a package
called Bumpy Pictures.  The other program is AudioPIX.
     AudioCAD allows you to listen to your drawing as it is being drawn, just touch and listen!
When we have a Braille display version, it will be touch and touch!
     AudioCAD enables a blind person to draw free hand sketches, circles, semicircles, quadrants,
rectangles, ellipses, horizontal and vertical lines, diagonal lines of specified degree and lines that
can be joined precisely.  Entities, as we call these drawings, can be saved, loaded, copied, moved,
deleted, undeleted, filled and Braille text labels can be placed on the drawing.  Drawings may be
embossed or printed with Braille text automatically converted to alpha-numeric format.  Drawn
entities may also be drawn to a specified scale and the drawings then passed to a sighted partner
for bit level editing, thus allowing sighted and blind people to work closely together.  Drawings
may be traced and a wide range of templates, shapes used in many designs, may be produced and
distributed to other AudioCADers!
     AudioCAD uses a synthesizer (no screen reading software is used).  The synthesizer may be
your existing favorite but it is also possible to use the SBTALKER text to speech program
supplied with all DOS versions of Sound Blaster.  though an extremely cheap, good quality
synthesizer will work entirely satisfactorily.  However, AudioCAD is also distributed with its own
software synthesizer.  This synthesizer will work directly through the speaker in your computer
but will work even better with any one of a range of sound cards and accessories, drivers  which
are provided with your Bumpy Pictures disk.  For laptop users the Digispeech Portable or
Digispeech Plus provides a low cost and portable amplifier for the distributed software
synthesizer.  This is not essential, however, if the speaker in your computer is adequate for your
purposes.  Generally speaking only one or two words are spoken at a time and many of these are
repeated frequently, making recognition easy and cost almost zero.  Recent laptops and desktop
systems with sound capability have volume adjustable speakers and the distributed software
synthesizer should work just fine.
What do AudioCADers draw with?
     Whether sighted or blind, use a touch sensitive pad and your finger or an old wood pencil,
preferably without a lead, and do your drawing or design onto a touch sensitive surface.  One
such touch sensitive surface is the Edmark Touch Window.  It is a light, low cost touch sensitive
surface, widely used in education.  If you are at school, especially infant or junior school, chances
are that one of these pads is already used.  The pad fits easily into a briefcase, can be run with a
transformer or nine volt battery as available in any supermarket and is available as a package with
Bumpy Pictures from Repro-Tronics, Inc..  Another surface is the Nomad Pad, distributed in the
USA by APH.  This pad has its own synthesizer included and will take up to A3 size paper.  At
the time of writing, work is being done to include the Unmouse as an input drawing pad. It is the
size of a cigarette pack.  It cannot be used with AudioPIX however.  The Edmark and Nomad
pads can be used with AudioPIX.
Must I have a pad?  I cannot afford one yet but I want to draw!
     Well, there is a way out of your "have my cake and eat it" dilemma!  AudioCAD can be used
without any pad.  In this case the keyboard is used for complete control of the drawing, using
cursor keys and a small number of alphabetic commands.  The system uses an acoustic grid, a
drawing cursor may be moved rapidly about the screen and while it is not easy to draw free hand
sketches, all regular shapes, including graphs and floor plans can be drawn.  All the functions
available to pad users are available to the keyboard user but it is very much easier to use a pad.
The keyboard system uses an optional tactile template to simulate a drawing pad.
     Blind children from the age of 7 have used the system with great enthusiasm, in one instance
taking only a few minutes to produce the first drawing.
Reading drawings.
     AudioPIX is a picture reading aid that works with the Edmark Touch Screen and Nomad pad.
Drawings that have been made in AudioCAD can be enhanced with synthesized and digital
information using AudioPIX.  Indeed three dimensional objects can be used on either
surface.  The program is extremely easy to use, having only 6 functions to learn.  Using a Sound
Blaster or Digispeech sound accessory, labels can be spoken into any drawing.  This means that
your drawings can be used anywhere in the world, assuming you speak the appropriate language
or know someone who does!
     I am delighted to see Repro-Tronics, Inc. take on Bumpy Pictures.  Funnily enough we already
called the system Bumpy Pictures before we learned of the name given to drawings produced on
Flexi-Paper and the Repro-Tronics Tactile Image Enhancer.  We used the name because a blind
child at St. Lucy's School in Sydney, Australia described tactile graphics as "Ooh Bumpy
Pictures!"  Small world eh!
     If you enjoy using Bumpy Pictures it will be in part because of the suggestions made by Leedy
Day Dave Skrivanek, and Dr. Karen Luxton and others during my recent visit to New Jersey and
Baruch College in New York City.  Also to the encouraging E-mail comments of Satauna Howery
from Washington state.  Thank you all.  Let's hear your views but more importantly, lets see your
drawings in a future edition of the Bumpy Gazette.  Wouldn't it be great to see drawings that you
have done distributed to other AudioCADers?  AudioCAD files suitable for embossing are only
2.5k small!
     I would like AudioCADers to meet Richard Dear.  He has been my friend and programming
wizard for many years.  Without Richard's skills and patience my usually crazy ideas would never
see the light of day.  He had made Bumpy Pictures possible.
     AudioCAD and AudioPIX concepts and design are by Dr. Don Parkes and programming is by
Richard Dear.  The Quantum pad is licensed to Quantum Technology of Sydney Australia by Don
Parkes and it is made and distributed in the USA by APH, Louisville, through Quantum
Technology.  The Edmark pad is made in the USA by the Edmark Corporation.  Repro-Tronics,
Inc., Westwood, New Jersey are sole importers of Bumpy Pictures to the USA and together we
hope to produce a Mac version, through the skills of Leedy Day, Colorado Springs.  More about
this in the next Bumpy Gazette.

BRAILLE PRODUCTION ON THE TACTILE IMAGE ENHANCER
by Matt Sullivan

     Have you ever wondered how Bumpy Dave makes readable Braille samples on his Tactile
Image Enhancer (TIE)?   Do you want to do the same thing?  This article tells you how.  I use an
IBM PC with Windows here, but the process is similar on a Macintosh.
     (Images for TIE can be produced from DOS without Windows, but the setup is a bit technical.
Call me for details if you have DBT DOS and you're interested in doing this.)
     Other than the obvious, a TIE, a cool running photocopier, and Flexi-Paper, you'll need a few
things:
     * A computer running Windows 3.1 or higher (or a Macintosh)
     * A design package, such as CorelDRAW, Illustrator or Paintbrush
     * A decent laser or inkjet printer, ideally 300 dpi or better
     * A copy of the Duxbury Braille Font for     Windows (or Macintosh)
     The Duxbury Braille Font comes with the Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT), but it's also
available on its own for $99.  To use the font without DBT, you need to know Braille coding (for
example, that ",5H.ER" equals "Enhancer" in English grade 2) or have access to another
translator that can output to North American ASCII Braille code.
     The reason for using the Duxbury Braille Font is that no other Braille font can scale the dots
without also changing the spacing within and between the cells.  Resizing of the dots is required
because TIE slightly expands each dot as it heats the paper.  To precompensate, you want the
black dots on the Flexi-Paper to be only 80% of their 0.059 inch standard size, or 0.0472 inches.
     Several years ago, we developed the Duxbury Braille Font  Builder software to make dot size
adjustments for various types of ADA compliant sign fabrication.  You've probably seen the
results of this work in hotels, shopping malls and other buildings.  In November 1992, I had the
pleasure of getting to know Dave and his then brand new machine at the AER New England
Conference.  It didn't take us very long to figure out that TIE and the Braille Font Builder would
be a perfect match.
     OK, enough of the background stuff.  Let's make some tactile Braille.  First, you need to install
the font:
     (Note, if you have the font with DBT Win, you can skip to the next section.  The font is
automatically installed by SETUP.)
     1. Start Windows and get into the "Main" group.
     2. Open the "Control Panel" and then "Fonts".
     3. Click on the "ADD..." button.
     4. Select the a: or b: drive if you have the Font disk, or if you have DBT, the c: drive and
     your DUXBURY directory.
     5. Click on "Braille" and make sure that "copy    fonts to Windows directory" is checked,
     then click the "OK" button.
     6. Push Alt-F.. twice to close the two windows.
     7. Exit and restart windows.
     If you run into problems, you can find complete installation instructions for the Duxbury
Braille Font (including notes for Windows 3.0 and Adobe type 1 users) in the product manual.
Appendix E in the DBT DOS User's Guide, under the Help menu, contains the same information.
     Next, install the Braille Font Builder, as follows:
     (Note, If you bought just the font, you must first make a DUXBURY directory, then copy the
file named
BRLBLD.EXE from the Duxbury Braille Font disk into DUXBURY.)
     1. Start Windows.  The Program Manager window should be active.
     2. Get into the group where you want the icon to appear, perhaps "Accessories" or
         "Duxbury".  (You can make a new group name with "File, New..." if necessary.)
     3. Use "File, New..." after getting into the group you want.
     4. If "Program Item" is chosen, click "OK". Otherwise, click on "Cancel" and go back to
         step 2 because you aren't in a group.
     5. A dialog box comes up.  It contains four fields.  Fill in "Description" by typing "Braille
         Builder" and fill in "Command Line" with C:\DUXBURY\BRLBLD.EXE.  Click on
         "OK".
     6. A new icon appears.  It should look like a crane.

     To build a new version of the TrueType font with an 80% dot diameter for TIE:

     1. Double click on the new "Braille Builder" icon.
     2. Set the "Dot Diameter" control to 80.
     3. Delete the contents of the "Type 1 Directory" control, if it's not already blank.
     4. Make sure the "TrueType Directory" is set correctly, presumably to C:\WINDOWS\
         SYSTEM.
     5. Click on "Build" and wait for the hourglass cursor to revert back to an arrow.
     6. Double-click on the box in the upper-left corner of the Braille Builder window to exit.
     7. Exit and restart Windows.

     You're now ready to start producing artwork with your customized Braille font.  I'm going to
use Paintbrush for this exercise because all Windows users have it.  You can later opt to use
CorelDRAW, Illustrator or any graphics program that supports TrueType fonts.
     Unless yours is a non-standard Windows installation, Paintbrush is in the "Applications" group.
Find the Paintbrush icon and double-click on it.  A menubar and an empty "canvas" appear.
     If you don't have a bunch of tool icons on the left, go to "View" and select "Tools and
Linesize".  From the tool icons, pick the one that looks like a hollow circle.  Move your mouse
onto the "canvas" and click-drag to draw a large circle.
     Next, select the text tool, which is the "ABC" icon.  Pull down the "Text" menu and pick
"Font..." from the list of choices.  Pick "Braille" for the Font, "Regular" for the Font Style and
"24" for the Size.  Click on OK.  Move the text cursor inside the circle, somewhat to the left of
the center, and click once.  Type "circle" and watch what happens.  You have Braille!  To
complete the job, pull down the "File" menu, select "Print..." and click on OK.  Copy your output
onto Flexi-Paper and feed it through the TIE.  You now have a raised circle with a grade 2 Braille
label.
    The text in the first example has no contractions, so it came out fine without thinking about it.
You could say that a circle is literally (or literarily) grade 1 kid's stuff.  Let's move up to a grade 2
square!
     Use "File, New..." to get a blank screen.  If you've grown attached to your circle, say "Yes" to
save the image when prompted.  Otherwise, just say "No".  Draw a square on your new canvas by
using the unfilled square tool.
     Pick the text tool again. Type "squ>e" after clicking inside the square.  The greater than
symbol ( > ) is North American ASCII code for the "ar" contraction.  All sixty three dot patterns
have their own ASCII codes, as shown in a chart that comes with the Duxbury Braille Font.  The
chart is only useful to those who already know the rules of grade 2 Braille.  All others will need
the assistance of translation software.
     The most convenient translator for getting ASCII Braille code into a Windows graphic
program is the Duxbury Braille Board.  In its clipboard intercept mode, Braille Board could have
turned "square" into "squ>e" for you. Without ever leaving Paintbrush.  "Edit, Cut" and "Edit,
Past" provide the translation.
     DBT Win is almost as convenient.  The only added step is that you have to temporarily leave
your graphics program in order to copy the text from DBT WIN before using the "Edit, Paste"
command.  Alt-Tab is a quick way to switch among running applications.
     With DOS based translation programs, you must save your Braille output files in ASCII so
that can be brought up in windows.  Although Paintbrush can't directly import ASCII Text, you
can use the "Clipboard Viewer" in the "Main" group, to bring in the text.  More advanced
graphics programs, such as CorelDRAW and Illustrator, have ASCII text importers.
     I hope you enjoy making your own drawings and Braille labels with the Tactile Image
Enhancer and the Duxbury Braille Font.  If you have any questions about this article please feel
free to contact me.

TIE TRAVELS
By Tim Connell

The need for good quality tactile graphics knows no boundaries!  In most countries of the world,
blind people use a range of tactile graphic materials, especially maps and mobility diagrams.

In the last six months one well and truly travel weary TIE has been around the world two and a
half times.  From the foothills of the Himalayas in Chengdu province, mainland China, to the wide
boulevards of Paris and Madrid, the TIE has been demonstrating to the world how easy it is to
make good quality tactile graphics.

For a product that is less than two years old, the TIE has certainly traveled fast.  Outside of the
US, the TIE is now in use in the following countries.

Australia
England
Ireland
Germany
Spain
France
Slovenia
Thailand
Korea
Japan
Mexico
Canada

       In collaboration with Quantum Technology in Australia, we plan to continue developing the
world market for TIE's and Flexi-Paper.  There are many more countries left to conquer.

     The foregoing pages are but a small sampling of the types of uses the products supplied by
Repro-Tronics can help produce.  It is my desire to help explore the exciting new avenues that
Tactile Graphics opens.
     By creating the newsletter and then relying on you, the people in the field, to submit new and
interesting applications, we will be able to jostle someone else's imagination to create another
unusual use.
     I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for the contributions that are
expected to be submitted by those who are fortunate to have a Tactile Image Enhancer, but also
from those who have the imagination and foresight to see the tremendous asset it would be in
their endeavors.
     I would like to express my special appreciation to the people who have contributed to this, our
inaugural edition.
