Dear Kahlid, .brf files are braille files. When you are asked if the file is braille or text, type b for braille.

What I'm doing wrong? : Is there something messing I should do? : : side note: if I went to the file manager and I translated the BRF files into text I can listen to them. I don't want to go through this tedious way. I would like to listen to the BRF files directly without translating them specially if the book is in 30 files or more than that. : I hope I'll be able to listen to book soon. : Thanks for any help in advance : Dr.KAAK : ----- Original Message ----- : From: Susan Mangis : To: Braillenote List : Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 7:22 AM : Subject: Re: [Braillenote] listening to grade 2 files : : : The problem may be when opening the file you are asked if you want to review : the options.
