Hi Henry,
I have worked with this developer before and they were in a development
stage so yes your right. I'll keep this email and send it forth to them
and we'll see what happens here.

Indeed. This program appears to be quite prone to crashing. I realise that it is
open-source and thus not meant to be perfect, but I don't think it's yet ready for stable
use. The exception thrown by the program that you copied below occurs, I think, when it
pops up a dialog stating that "the braille facility is not available," whatever
that means, and when you indicate that you don't want to continue. Even when I did get
past that, when I tried to launch the tutorial from the help menu, it did open safari,
but it also crashed the java runtime environment. Perhaps I should send an email to the
developers to see if they're still planning to work on this. For now, though, I wouldn't
use it for production use.
As for Louis, it is free, but I've had very little luck getting it to
translate complicated documents--it keeps giving me blank braille files. It
does, however, have the virtue of being significantly more stable and might,
based on comments from other people who have used it successfully, be able to
translate your document if it's simple enough. Perhaps someone more experienced
with the program could give you better help in that direction. Here is the web
page for it, in case you're interested:
