I'm looking for opinions on braille translators. I just got, as sooon as
it get here I'll have it that is, an index braille embosser. I have a
demo copy of turbobraille, with which I'm rather impressed, and can get
my hands on pc-braille without much trouble. I use word perfect as my
processor and other than word perfect 5.1, which turbobraille doesn't
handle as yet, I'd be printing out ascii files. Does anybody have
anything reall good or bad to say about any translation software? If all
things are more or less equal, then I guess you go with what's cheapest.
Also, since Humanware isn't selling indexes anymore, although they're
continuing to service, has anybody heard if another dealer is selling
them statside? It would make me feel better if I knew another dealer was
picking up the product.
