Hi Estin,
Here's how to work web-braille. Go to
www.loc.gov/nls
Click on Browse the Catalog.
Enter your search terms, such as title, author, etc. To find things faster,
select "braille" in the "type" combo box, or whatever it's called.
When you find what you want, you'll see link beginning in http for each
volume. Hit context menu on this link, then arrow down to save as. You'll be
asked to enter your NLS username and apssword, so do that. Then save-as as
you normally would. If your ocmputer tacks on a .txt after the .brf
extention, go to the file using Windows Explorer and hit F2, and erase the
.txt part, and jsut that, not the .brf. Hope this makes sense. If you ahve
any questions, feel free to email me back and I'll do my best to help.
Caitlin

While in the magazine or book on line, I do an S with spacebar. I get
the save file propts as to where it should go etc. When asked for a file
name, I give it the NLS book number or perhaps the magazine name followed
by a number representing the various parts of the magazine with a dot brf
extension. Always give a web braille book a dot brf extension. When
pressing enter, I have my dot brf file instantaneously and it is ready to
read off line. My braille grade is set to 2 by default.

Subject: [Braillenote] handling NLS web braille files with the mPower
Hi everyone:
Tonight I tried to save a magazine to my mPower which I received via web
braille through NLS. However, when I pressed s chord, and gave it a
name and saved it, when I opened it, the BRF file had been turned into
text, and was all messed up. So I tried again, but I tried to use back
space with x after the s chord, and saving the file as an HTML was my
only option.
So, what I did was just mark the beginning and end of the issue, using
the block commands menu, and pasted those into keyword. I must comment
here on how wonderfully the mPower handled this process... it copied
about 100 pages instantaneously... unlike the classic!
But, my question is how do those of you who use web braille handle this
issue if you do not wish, or are not able, to stay connected to the net
while reading?
Thanks as always!
Katie
