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!

Hi,
Can somebody enlighten me as to how to read .brf files on the mac?
I thought I could just pull up one in text edit and as long as I was reading
with a braille display it’d be fine.
I just tried to do this with a file and it was gobbledy gook!
I am using a brilliant bi40.
Thanks!

Yes, but Bookshare's iOS sucks compared to the BARD app. And who wants to add
BRF files from email or dropbox to bard all the time? I'd rather have more NLS
books.

Better to help bookshare out, I think. Their library is already much bigger
then the nLS one.
I also belive that NLS has it's own way of increasing it's library, and
volunteers submitting material isn't included in it. I could be badly
mistaken, though!

perhaps its time that those of us with braille note taker devices start
volunteering some time to getting new braille books submitted to the NLS. the
only really bad hitch I see with this is the copyright laws here in the US. If
that doesn't turn out to be an issue, then we can all participate i
I haven't actually done that conversion before. Sometimes I convert documents
by simply pasting text in, but then you lose all your formatting. With things
like epub or mobi, Calibre command-line can be used.

Ah, thanks. So how would I convert a pages file to HTML? I didn't think Pages
could export to HTML.

If you convert a file to html, louis will convert it to brf. That makes sense,
since the markup is text as well. Going the other way is a little more
problematic. Half the time Louis interprets braille italics as dots 4-6 in
computer braille, putting a period before each word instead.

In my experience, it can't work well with italics or any other kind of
formatting. It only works with plain text files.

Yes, it can. Louis can also be used to do this.
NFBTrans is a command-line application. This build has to be compiled and
installed, and I still have to learn to do this. There are instructions in the
readMe file, but they assume some knowledge of command-line. So as for my own
situation, I'll
can that translator work the other way? I would like to take plain text or text
PDF files and convert them for reading on my Braille Sense U2. I know that the
U2 can read text files directly, but it would be helpful for other things
(including helping the NLS get more braille books).

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.

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

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.

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.

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
