Hi,
There is an Embosser utility for the Mac. this allows a person to
emboss to other embossers in a range of formats.
Hope this helps,

I have made some further enquiries regarding the use of Ibraille,
and I am told that Ibraille will only work on Index Braille
embossers version 3 starting from serial number 30000 and updated to
some version of firmware 12. something so its use is very limited to
those of us who have older versions of embossers or different types.
Bah!

Hi,
I went to Index Braille's website and found something like the
thing needed by this list. IBraille offers formatting.
Here is the link:

Will, there is also Winbraille - a free braille translation
programme from Index Braille themselves. It is quite easy to use,
and it would be worth exploring whether it can indicate
formatting features before you spend money on Duxbury. You can go
to www.indexbraille.com and download it free if you run windows
on your Mac, or if you are thinking of doing so. Winbraille gives
you a choice of connections to your braille printer: parallel or
serial, or usb. I haven't seen the latest release of this
software so I can't give you any more info.
With best wishes

Hi when I tried it, and I had bold in english articles no format
indicators were shown. obviously in my view anyways, layout
indication is imporant not only for me and Simon as translators
but in general for us to see, where text is emphasized etc. so
that if we are pointed to a marked passage we can distinguish
its layout, too. the only option i think will be duxbury

Will, I have just started using Louis but as yet I am not able
to tell whether Louis has an option of marking formatting when
converting into Braille. Best thing to do is download Louis and
have a look at the help file. I know it is damn difficult for
us, those of us who need formatting for translation purposes.
Best wishes, Will, Simon

Hi to all,
Can the louis program developed by Greg, show formatting in
documents?
So if one has italicized text can it show up in the language
of choice that they are reading in?
So for example, in French the bold and or italics is 4 5 6.
Would this show up in lewis if I instruct it to show
formatting if indeed, this can be done?
