Products and publications in braille

A guide to the various products and publications offered to buy or loan from RNIB

Braille remains at the heart of RNIB's work.

We champion the development of braille technologies and provide a huge range of braille-related products, publications, and services; giving braille users even more opportunity to take charge of their own lives.

Braille products

We invest time and money on developing new products and technology for blind and partially sighted people, such as the Orbit Reader 20. This is done through directly commissioning new products, working in close partnerships, and providing support and promotion for products already in development. All developments are global and RNIB works with 150 distributor contacts across the world.

All our braille products are aimed at making daily life easier for blind and partially sighted people. From tactile and braille board games to braille diaries and organisers, labelling equipment and pill dispensers to refreshable braille displays and notetakers. Browse braille products on our Online Shop.

Whether you’re learning braille for yourself or to support someone else, we’ve got a range of braille teaching and learning resources that can help you.

Reading braille is the only way of independently accessing words without someone or something reading them to you. In this way nothing has replaced braille – braille books and magazines remain very popular.

Braille books

The RNIB Library is completely free of charge to use and has more than 10,000 braille books available in a wide choice of genres for adults and children. We also have a special braille Learners collection for those learning braille as an adult. Most titles can also be purchased and are marked as 'available for sale' in the Library catalogue.
