A handheld device to enable a person to create Braille impressions in adhesive tape as labels or messages, where the device includes a hollow base structure, with a tape exit port, and a top region with flexurally hinged embossing arms whose tips converge to a central region, where the tips have downwardly projecting convex bump structures located above concave bump receiving structures, and a tape holding structure onto which a roll of tape can be placed, whereby tape coming from the roll can pass between the convex and concave bump structures, over the cutting edge and out the tape exit port. Furthermore, the device can have a cover structure with flexurally hinged members located above, and coupled to, the hinged embossing arms with snap domes to provide an audible click and tactile cue when the flexurally hinged members are pushed down on by a user's fingers. 1. A braille writing device , to form tactile dots onto an embossing medium , comprising: i. a tape exit port,', 'ii. a cutting edge, and', 'iii. a top receiving region for a tape handling structure,, "a. a hollow base structure, open from the top, and graspable by a person's one or two hands, further comprising:"} i. an embossing anvil on the top planar region, with six concave features arranged in a two-by-three grid,', 'ii. pairs of coaxial grooves for accepting cylindrical axles,', 'iii. protruding horizontally from said downward structure, a projecting tape reel axle holding structure,', "iv. alignment and attachment structures on said planar top region's upper and lower surfaces to guide and connect with the base structure and embossing arms,"], "b. a tape handling structure, attached to the base structure's top receiving region, with a planar top region and a downward protruding structure, further comprising:"} i. tips aligned with the embossing anvil', "ii. alignment and attachment features on said planar ring structure's upper and lower surfaces to guide and connect with the base structure below ...
