Hi Rich Brilliant. Thanks for the steps. That gets the end result I need for my person I am working with and looks straight forward enough for her to handle. I needed to find a way to do it that was not too offputting for a new user and this should do it.
Cheers Paula. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Cavallaro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 December 2008 3:40 p.m. To: Paula Waby; blake; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Translating bulk files Hi Paula: To translate a bunch of files do the following: 1. Go to the file manager. 2. Press t for translate. 3. Press e for export 4. You will be asked as to which folder you wish to export the files from. 5. On a bt you can press backspace if the file you wish to export is on another drive. 6. Find the folder and press enter. 7. At the filename prompt press space and or backspace to move through the list of files. 8. When you find a file you wish to export, press space with m to mark that file. If you wish to unmark a file, press space with m again. 9. If you wish to mark all the files in that folder press enter with a dropped g (dots 2-3-5-6 on a bt). 10. Press enter after you have selected the files you wish to translate. 11. You will also be asked as to which drive you wish to export and to which folder and drive . 12. Next you will be asked as to which file type you wish to export. You can press space with dots 3-4 to move through these. Find the filetype and press enter. When the operation is complete, you will be told how many files were exported.

I must be missing something obvious. When I'm in a document and save that way I see the choices for Word, Word Perfect, Text etc. However in the translation option it only seems to have text to braille or braille to text. If I translate the files to text they are KWT files so still don't work on the PC. I also looked at forward and back translation but in there they ask a heap of questions about paragraph boundaries and things. Is there not a simple way to translate bulk files from braille to Word or text to put on a USB drive and transfer to the computer for editing? If this can be done through the translation options what steps do I need to go through to obtain the desired outcome?

I am a kiwi also. If you wish to transfer things from the bn to the pc and back again, one option that can be explored is this, translate it via the file manager to a . doc file. You could then put that file on to a usb in a specific folder. She can then read, and edit it, at her own disposal, and then transfer it back to the braille note. If she wishes to convert this back to a . braille file, she can do so quite easily. If you/her need conversion steps, refer to me or the rest of the bn list.

Is there a way to translate all files at once from Keyword to text or Word so that they can be transferred in bulk to the computer? I tend to transfer files individually when required, so just save each one in the format I require before transferring. I am working with someone new to braille though and she wants to transfer everything to her computer to work on, then transfer the files back to the BrailleNote once they have been edited. I had a look at translation options and importing and exporting, plus I looked through the Users Guide, but I could not find out for definite if there is a way to do what she wants. >Cheers >Paula. >Paula Waby >Adaptive Communications Instructor >Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind Te Tuâpâpâ O Te Hunga Kâpô O >Aotearoa PO Box 2237 South Dunedin New Zealand >DDI: 64-3-466-4250 >Fax: 64-3-455-4319 >Mobile: 021-2299-768 >www.rnzfb.org.nz >################################################################# #################### >This email, including any attachments, is intended solely for the addressee(s). >It is confidential and may be legally privileged.
