Both Braille input and output have three modes starting with iOS 8. There's contracted, uncontracted, and eight-dot. With a .brf file, you should use 8-dot, since these files are all upper-case. With your capitalization example, it looks like you're using Unified English Braille. If you want

Set your braille display to 8-dot braille output with dots 2 3 6 space. Make sure you are not in contracted braille mode. Now, you will be able to read the file in any of the file viewing apps. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone

You will need a Braille display to read these files on your device. If you're in the US, Bard Mobile works great. It has very specific keystrokes to use for finding your place in a book and navigating, so using the manual is highly recommended. I know there are other apps that will do this, but
