There are three additional videos for Lesson 4 that you may chose to watch if the topics they cover are not familiar to you. They are:
- QuickTac: An overview of how to use the QuickTac free program from Duxbury Systems
- Preparing a Tactile Graphic for the Tiger: A demonstration of how a drawing can be simplified and braille font added to prepare the drawing for embossing or printing onto microcapsule paper
- Tactile Graphics Image Library: An explanation of how to use APH’s Tactile Graphics Image Library
If you are a print reader, there are no activities for Lesson 4 that have an accompanying braille file.
