Hi, I’ll go check. I probably do have grade 2 turned on, so will go change it to the computer braille and see if that helps! thanks! Caitlyn > On Sep 13, 2015, at 6:55 PM, Jason White wrote: > > Caitlyn Furness wrote: >> Can somebody enlighten me as to how to read .brf files on the mac? >>

I forgot one preparatory step for opening files in textEdit. Since the brf file is already translated, turn grade two translation off. It's only useful if you're translating on the fly. Otherwise, you'll end up with gibberish. HtH, Teresa "The golden age of science fiction is twelve."--Pete gra

Hi. You may want to look at http://www.softcon.com/mac/unix/Index.html It has a copy of NFBTrans seemingly compiled for OSX. NFBTrans is a braille translator, allowing BRF files to be translated into text. I do use this program, but not on the Mac, so am unsure of the ability or quality of the prog

Yes, you can. You can only read them on a Braille display, as speech will be gibberish. Also, brf files are all upper-case, so you might want to take the dot-7 characters out. If you choose to do this, select all text, go into the edit menu, choose transformations, and choose lower case. Another

Also, if the Braille display has an input keyboard, you can toggle speech on and off by holding down the space bar and pressing the letter m (dots 1 3 4). At least I can do this on my mac and iPod with my Refreshabraille. On Jul 27, 2012, at 2:06 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > If you have keyboa

If you have keyboard commander on, you can use right-option-v. With a trackpad, it's a double three-finger tap. In VO utility, navigate to speech and mute it. HtH, Teresa On Jul 27, 2012, at 12:45 PM, Stacey Robinson wrote: > Hi all, > Is there any way that I can read brf files on my macbook? >

Yes, you can open them in textEdit, and as long as you have contractions off, you can read them on your display. Turn off speech, though. :) Teresa On Jul 27, 2012, at 12:45 PM, Stacey Robinson wrote: > Hi all, > Is there any way that I can read brf files on my macbook? > My syncbraille is hook

You can read them with your Braille display in Text-edit by turning off contracted Braille. That works just fine for me. Also, if you want to back-translate them, you can use Louis for this. HTH, Teresa On Jan 25, 2011, at 1:21 AM, denise avant wrote: > hi all, > is there any programs out there
