conversion from regular print to braille (and vice versa), and also provides
word-processing facilities for working directly in the braille as well as the print. "Fonts"
are used for displaying the braille.
Who uses software for braille?
Our software is designed for two types--those who don't know braille and those who
do. Even if all the braille you know was learned from the previous paragraph, the
Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) will allow you to create highly accurate braille for
school books and teaching materials, office memos, bus schedules, personal letters,
signs compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and more.
