Hi,
I too have a Braille printer. Mine is a 50 Romio, and I can't get it
to work. I have a Keyspan USB Highspeed adapter and have installed the
drivers. No I can't figure out how to print. I also have my Braillists
PC plugged into the Embosser via Parrallels.
Any help is appreciated to help me get this working.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

would be good for reference.

So yes, Louis does work with the Braille Blazer and probably with the
Versapoint Duo. Greg, which product were you refering to on that list
when you were talking about converters? I want to be sure I'm buying
the right one.

I was just looking at the Louis braille translator and absolutely
adore it! It seems so easy to use and I can't wait to try it out.
But I have a few questions first. All but one actually applies to
all
Mac translators.
1. I have a Versapoint Duo braille embosser and am thinking of
buying
a Braille Blazer, since I've always loved the latter and it talks and
is lighter than the former. I'm gonna try the Versapoint and see
if I
can reset it to factory defaults (tried it once and appeared to print
extra stuff on the sides of the page) and let the translation
software
handle the text. If it's really as complicated as the manual makes
it
sound I'm selling it and will post here. In any case, can I use one
of those embossers with my macbook and Leopard if I get a usb to
serial adapter?
2. I want to print a map of Greece. Is there any difference between
the graphics produced by the two embossers? Can Louis produce
graphics? If I were to emboss a print page from the web as a graphic
or scan in a page from a book and do the same, could I get it to show
me the print letters instead of translating them into braille? Can I
make it emboss in large or extra large print so I can feel them more
easily? What about pictures? If I had two pictures of two different
people, could I actually tell the difference between them in a
tactile
version?
3. I'm very impressed with the fact that Louis can translate ancient
and modern Greek. But I see that it only supports Grade 1 for
modern.
Will this change in the future?
Btw, found this wonderful page of translators for anyone interested.
Each is a little different.
