Translation Software
These word processing programs allow the use of print characters on the screen while entering, editing and formatting text, and then use a single keystroke to translate the print to braille. The software applies rules for braille according to algorithms. The result of the translation is displayed on the screen in a variety of possible settings - braille dots, ASCII braille, etc. Those with transcription knowledge can review the exact braille text on the screen prior to embossing and make any necessary corrections.

For more information on the various translation software packages, please see our "Products" links.
