Re: Reading braille books on the Mac
Hello there I am gotten used to doing it in TextEdit even though it shows the carriage return line feed. In what braille at least they are using to sell 38 which means that it's not as bad as if they were using the full 40 sales. I did get something to work one time in notes. Notes does not show the carriage return linefeeds, don't ask me why.

Re: Reading braille books on the Mac
Just a clarification that today's Macs are unix systems so it's only Windows files that can be problematic because they use both a CR and LF character to denote each end of line while everybody else uses just one character. Prior to OSX the Mac used a CR only but since OSX they have adopted the unix way of using just a LF character.

Re: Reading braille books on the Mac
I don't know about that unfortunately because I'm not subscribed to bookshare right now. Mostly I want to read NLS braille books which are brf files. These would be ASCII text files. I have other ways to read them but given that I got my Refreshabraille to use with the Mac and OS devices, I'd like to find a way to use it to read on my Mac. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Reading braille books on the Mac
I have also had this issue the few times I used it. If you have access to Bookshare, I would think there would be a way to open the xml file in the text only Daisy version of the book and read it in Safari? Has anyone been successful with this?

Re: Reading braille books on the Mac
I've noticed this too, Cheryl. I've tried a search and replace on the carriage returns and line feeds, but I haven't been able to make it work. I'd definitely like to work more on this, and if someone has come up with a solution, please share it.

Reading braille books on the Mac
Hi all. I find that in reading braille books/files on my Mac with a braille display I get what look like mj or j at the end of lines which I assume represent new lines and/or return. This happens with most braille files i get, including NLS' web braille. It is very distracting! I've been reading in Text Edit. Is there a way to keep these from showing or a better application to read braille in with a braille display? Thanks. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
