The braille printer was highly praised for its quiet printing sound, and the Seika Mini was highly praised for its ability to connect to an iPhone.

We were also able to develop new markets such as Poland, and achieved success.

Nippon Telesoft exhibited their Braille display Seika and Braille embosser GEMINI at the Sight City exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, from May 7th to 9th in 2008.
They were both very popular especially with German customers.
Government support for assistive technologies has recently been more restricted in Germany, making it difficult to sell existing expensive Braille displays, on the other hand something cheaper such as Seika by Nippon Telesoft has been more and more popular.
GEMINI was also popular for its ink and Braille simultaneous printing feature, so that it can print textbooks, a wide variety of information document, brochures, bank statement, etc.
Nippon Telesoft has two dealers in Germany and after it obtains permission numbers from the relavent insurance company, we will expand our sales in Germany.
