Thanks all for your responses. I suspected that Duxberry were the creators of the braille translation tables in use with voiceover. :) To answer your question, I created mine using LibLouis which is a free open source software, available on Windows Mac and Linux, that you can write braille tables with. You can google it if you want to learn more, I don't wanna risk getting too off topic for this list. My trouble though is in making the LibLouis braille tables usable to me with Voiceover. I can't seem to figure out how to get them written/placed on my computer in such a way that I can use what I made. I wrote braille tables trying to help me and others gain access to braille output in languages which Voiceover is not available, because we figured braille support with no voice support is better than nothing. I am aware that Duxberry has only included languages available on the mac that are also available as a voiceover Voice. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try to get my mac to allow me to use the braille translation tables we have written with a braille display. I have noticed that if you wish to view the braille table folder and files in your mac, it's under computer/system/library/screen reader/braille tables. I wonder if there is a way somehow to move the tables I made into this folder and get them to read. Within the braille tables folder is the Duxberry folder, but I'm wondering if a separate folder with the LibLouis tables could be created inside the braille tables folder. Thoughts would be appreciated. I know this in theory is possible, to add a braille table for use with a braille display, and I am determine to find a way to do it. :) Also, if someone wants to write me off list and dialogue with me on this little project I'm working on, feel free. My email is laurel.stock...@gmail.com I don't want to clutter the list, but at the same time I would appreciate help with this if anyone has anything to offer. Thanks Laurel
