I use liblouis to translate from print to braille. It's also actually possible to write in braille on your computer if you know what symbols to use and I've been known to do this for short things and quick corrections. My printer is an Index and so I use the Index driver for actual printing.

And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
