Dear Dean, The full version of DBT Win has a Greek braille table as well as many other tables which the BN doesn't have.
A person could create a Word, WP, rtf, txt document in Greek, transfer it to a PC which has DBT Win installed, and use DBT Win to translate the document into Greek braille. If someone wanted to read such a file on the BN, he/she could save the DBT file as a .brf file, transfer it to the BN and read it. (Of Course, the speech won't work). One caution, though: If a person exports a file to Word or rtf, DBT won't read these files because they are rich text format and the Word files are not true Word. So, before importing such a file into DBT, it must be opened in Word and saved as a Word document. Perhaps HumanWare could consider the idea of offering additional tables for the BN to those who want them and would be willing to pay extra for them. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
