I am looking for something that can print from computer to braille, so I can print out Web pages, etc, and read using Braille. What would that be called? And can someone point me to a website where I can read about and/or purchase one? Thanks.

Duxbury systems, www.duxburysystems.com, makes Duxbury and MegaDots, two braille translation programs. I believe they're each just above $500. You can get cheaper ones, though, even some free ones (try a Google search for NFBTrans).
Try www.brailler.org, which is Enabling Technologies, for a start wtih the braille embossers. They're pretty pricey, though. There are a few other companies who sell braille printers, but you're not likely to get one below about $2,000 or so.
Hope that helps.

There are tons of companies that make braille displays. Some examples are Freedom Scientific (www.freedomscientific.com), Pulse Data International (now knows as HumanWare) (www.pulsedata.com), Alva Access Group (www.aagi.com), and Tieman (not sure of their website).
You can also get braille displays as part of notetakers (PDAs) for braille readers, which is what I have.
Hope this helps.
