What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a 12-inch plastic ruler designed for people who are blind or have low vision, with tactile raised lines marking inches and fractions so measurements can be read by touch rather than sight. A sliding metal caliper helps lock in a measurement, making it easier to get an accurate reading without needing to see the ruler. Braille numbers appear at each inch interval for quick orientation. This is a standalone, ready-to-use tool — no batteries, apps, or accessories required — though it helps to already read Braille to get the most out of the number labels.
