Tenji P-Fab generates Braille data ready for 3D printing just by typing in Japanese. No specialized knowledge required. Accessibility starts from your pocket.
"Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people... and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them."— Steve Jobs
Enabling anyone to create Braille with the smartphone they already own, rather than expensive
equipment.
That is our goal: "Democratization of Tools."
Automatically converts Kanji to Kana, handles word spacing (wakachigaki), and distinguishes particle readings. (e.g., "Ha" to "Wa").
You don't have to rely solely on automation. Simply tap the Braille blocks on the preview to correct readings instantly.
Instantly exports STL data with shapes easy to use in the field, including auto-splitting for long texts, rounded corners, and strap holes.
Type Japanese text into the app. Check the Braille result in the preview and tap to correct if necessary.
Tap "Save" to download a ZIP file. It contains the STL (3D data) and an HTML guide for verification.
Load the STL file into your 3D printer and start printing! Your Braille plate will be ready in minutes.
