Peter, sorry to hear that. I don't know of any free braille translation
program then that will work with your system.

Ariana,
I downloaded the Wintrans program as you suggested. Unfortunately, it did
not want to run under Windows 7 64-bit. Although the program would open
and
I could select the file to translate, the program always returned a
translation error dialog. This may be because the program is build on top
of the NFBTrans program which is a 16-bit program and won't run under
Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks anyway.
--Pete

I am looking for a free program for translating a text file into a grade 2
text file.
I tried running the old NFB Trans software, but that 16-bit program
wouldn't
run on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine.
I also tried running the free WinBraille program, but since I don't have a
braille printer hooked up, it wouldn't even run.
Any ideas?
I'm doing some volunteer work for our local public radio and would like to
braille up some show notes. I have a very old braille printer where the
translation tables don't work properly, but I think I can send a text file
(formatted) to it and get the result I'm looking for.
Thanks.

I'm sorry that I'm unable to help you here. I looked at a list of
translators from APH but none were what you're seeking. At any rate,
where did you find the NFBTrans software? I tried the links on the
page with all the versions and they didn't work. I'm also looking for
Turbo Braille so that I can compare the two.
Thanks,
Eleni
