I'm puzzled. Why not just back translate the brf file? The problem with this
method is that you can only read the file in ibooks with a braille display; no
ability to listen to the book with voiceover.
For windows users, there is a free back translation program. Not sure for the
Mac.

Just to make things a bit clearer: by indicajing uncontracted Braille in this
importing method, you are not converting the document itself into uncontracted
Braille. A brf file is already translated, so it doesn't need VO to translate
it yet again. The resulting file displays in what looks like
I'm quite new to computer braille as I just bought my Refreshabraille
a couple months ago. So I'm still learning. I know what you mean
about the dots 7 and 8 in excessive use. Once I looked at an Alva
Braille display and it was apparently showing a lot of dots 7 and 8

Hi steve.
Teresa said this, but i would like to take the explanation a little further. As
you know, in grade 2 braille, a capital letter is determined by putting the ot
6, which is a comma in compchter braille, before a letter. If you were to take

Hi Teresa.
I think a lot of people maybe don't realize that notetakers, such as aPacMate
and the Braille Lite 40's and probably some others, allow to turn off dots 7
and 8 and still view in computer braille. I am hoping, please pretty please,
that Apple will someday separate out the display o
Hi Mark,
My purpose in posting another method of importing was to try something that
worked for me successfully and then post it to others. For whatever odd reason,
importing to epub format simply is not working for me. I know that pdf does, so
now we have other options available. I hope I was
Hi all,
The uppercase relates to ASCII values and doesn't affect the Braille dot-6
representation of capital letters in the body of the document. When a brf file

This sounds like an interesting technique indeed. However, I have a
question or two concerning capitalization. Do you mean that all BRF
books are in all upper case? If so, I wonder why. With selecting the
entire file as you suggest, you would end up with all lower case which
is OK I guess for si
Absolutely, not a problem. :) By the way, I know it's working for me; I've been
reading a book on my Ipod for the last few hours :)

Hi, all,
I don't usually cross-post, but this seems like an instance in which it would
be beneficial.
