As far as I can tell, I don't think so. I have tried .brf, but
these files don't seem to open in applications that recognize the
format.
Take Care

Hi,
Is there a way to save an IBraille document in something other than
*.ibraille? I need a brf, brl, or a dbf for Emboss.
Oops, I think the utility is called "Emboss", not "Embosser
Utility", Sorry.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Alex, What utility are you talking about and where would one get

Hi,
There is an Embosser utility for the Mac. this allows a person to
emboss to other embossers in a range of formats.
Hope this helps,
Alex,

I have made some further enquiries regarding the use of Ibraille,
and I am told that Ibraille will only work on Index Braille
embossers version 3 starting from serial number 30000 and updated
to some version of firmware 12. something so its use is very
limited to those of us who have older versions of embossers or
different types. Bah!

Hi,
I went to Index Braille's website and found something like the
thing needed by this list. IBraille offers formatting.
Here is the link:

Hope this helps,

Will, there is also Winbraille - a free braille translation
programme from Index Braille themselves. It is quite easy to
use, and it would be worth exploring whether it can indicate
formatting features before you spend money on Duxbury. You can
go to www.indexbraille.com and download it free if you run
windows on your Mac, or if you are thinking of doing so.
Winbraille gives you a choice of connections to your braille
printer: parallel or serial, or usb. I haven't seen the latest
release of this software so I can't give you any more info.
With best wishes

Hi when I tried it, and I had bold in english articles no
format indicators were shown. obviously in my view anyways,
layout indication is imporant not only for me and Simon as
translators but in general for us to see, where text is
emphasized etc. so that if we are pointed to a marked passage
we can distinguish its layout, too. the only option i think
will be duxbury

Will, I have just started using Louis but as yet I am not
able to tell whether Louis has an option of marking
formatting when converting into Braille. Best thing to do is
download Louis and have a look at the help file. I know it
is damn difficult for us, those of us who need formatting
for translation purposes. Best wishes, Will, Simon

Hi to all,
Can the louis program developed by Greg, show formatting in
documents?
So if one has italicized text can it show up in the
language of choice that they are reading in?
So for example, in French the bold and or italics is 4 5 6.
Would this show up in lewis if I instruct it to show
formatting if indeed, this can be done?
