In my case, I had no choise. I enjoy very much reading the Stagecoach series
by Hank Mitchum. The only way I could read three of these books was to back
translate three of these books from NLS that were in the brf format.

Yes. It it simpler to read them on a braille display. Happy are we who have
such. <Smile>.

I know that.
I simply think if people want to listen to books, they shouldn't use a braille
file.

Richard,
Grade I, or uncontracted, Braille isn’t the same as Computer braille. So
you’d have the file in pure uncontracted braille format.

I am fairly sure that Winston Chen did not develop the Voice Braille Reader,
but you could write him directly at supp...@voicedream.com
to be sure.
Just to be clear, BARD braille books are not and never have been designed to
be read by anything but a braille display. In fact, when using a braille
display, you have to set it to uncontracted braille because if you try and use
contracted braille it is attempting to contract things that are already
contracted. To have a device read one of their brf files, it would have to be
set to read computer code out loud, since, for example, the symbol for "t h e"
is an exclamation mark, 'it would have to know that when it comes across an
exclamation mark to speak that as those letters instead of treating it as a
punctuation mark.
What about looking for the same title on Bookshare.

I have the book invoice braille reader. When I press the speaker button, it
is just jibber jabber. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't seem to recognize it
as a grade to braille. Is this only supposed to read grade one braille? It's
said that it could read bard books, when I got it. I wrote to the developer,
but got the message back, saying it was undeliverable. Really I'm sad about
this. I believe it's the same developer of voice dream reader, but not sure.

Kathy,
I haven't used it much, but you basically have to move your BARD
Braille files into Dropbox and export it from there into Voicebraille reader.
Then in Voicebraille you need to turn voiceover off once you press the sxpeak
button to begin reading. It's not fancy or perfect but does work and isn't
difficult once you get the hang of it. Let me know if you need more help. For
Tim, I think I got to it from the Appleviz site but it was a bit tricky to find
so maybe a Google search? Of course, it may be removed, will try to find out
later.

I have voice braille reader, but I can't seem to get it to work with
bard books. Can anybody please help me do this. I really really do want to be
able to use the app with bard braille books. I do have a book that was put in
there from Bard, I was able to do that, but I can't seem to get it to read.

Anna, I've looked in the app store. Unless, it's either IPad
specific, and I can't find it on my phone, it looks like that is no longer
there. Thanks for the pointer though. I'm on the lookout for one if something
comes along, I find myself using Voice Dream Reader, Kindle, Ibooks, and Bard a
lot more than remembering to grab my Lictor most days. Lol. Thanks for letting
me know though. Take care and talk to you soon.

Hi Tim,
There is only one app that can read braille files aloud, as far as
I know. It's called Voice Braille Reader.
Best,

Sent from my iPhoneGuys, I have a curious question. Since I'm
reading more with my phone, I'm looking to find an app that will translate
braille to speech, like voicedream, but for braille files or documents. I dont
Voicedream will translate them, not sure if read2Go would either, but looking
for something on the iPhone that will translate braille to text so something
like Voicedream will read them. Thanks for any help you can give. Take care and
talk soon.
