The device is 70–80% more affordable than imported embossers and features a localized design developed based on real user feedback. Unlike the fully manual Perkins Brailler, it is electronically driven and specifically custom-built to meet the needs of users in Malaysia and the broader ASEAN region.

Braille remains a vital tool for educating visually impaired individuals; however, current embossing solutions present significant barriers. These devices are extremely expensive, often costing between RM4,000 and RM5,000 per unit. They are also heavy and bulky—for example, the Perkins Brailler weighs approximately 4.8 kilograms. Additionally, their manual operation requires considerable effort, making them difficult to use for extended periods. As a result, these challenges limit the widespread adoption of Braille in schools, reducing educational inclusivity and accessibility for the visually impaired.

The Electronic Embosser Brailler is an affordable, lightweight, and electronically powered Braille printing device developed by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) to enhance educational accessibility for visually impaired individuals (OKU Penglihatan). Unlike traditional Braille embossers that are costly, heavy, and manually operated, this innovative solution offers automatic embossing through electronic input in a more compact and user-friendly design. Tailored for classroom and personal learning use, it addresses key barriers to Braille adoption by being 70–80% cheaper than imported alternatives and ergonomically suited to the needs of users in Malaysia and the ASEAN region.
