Many commercially available access technologies are available that can produce raised line drawings, otherwise referred to as tactile graphics, for students with blindness or low vision (BLV). These graphics productions involve the use of a standard graphics image file that must be altered for size, spacing, and Braille labeling purposes. The various productions of output both low tech and high tech will be discussed. Also, what commercially available organic chemistry software packages already include accessibility features for Braille labeled tactile graphics will be discussed. A demonstration of the interface will be included as part of this presentation. Samples of various outputs will be available for distribution for audience participants to examine.
