I'm starting to think about a modern, full featured, free braille
translator able to compete, and hopefully improve upon Duxbury
which is no longer offered on the Macintosh. Built upon the
foundations of John Boyer's liblouis and liblouisxml libraries
Louis will be able to learn new XML based formats permitting the
end user to add new existing or custom formats as needed.
Here are some of the feature which it I am looking at.
Conversion of the following formats to braille for output on either
embossers or screen readers.
MSword
HTML
DocBook
dtbook (DAISY text)
XHTML
XML
custom XML formats, you will be able to make up your own if you want
Support for MathML to Nemeith code braille
Support for HTML based tables to braille tables.
Customizing output for numbers of cells on a line, line on a page,
line and page endings, braille and print page numbers footnotes
endnotes title pages and so on.
The user interface will be a combination of Cocoa based application
with connections to TextEdit or similar text editor.
What are your thought on this?
