Hi Erik, thanks for giving such a detailed response. could you say more about a couple of the things you mentioned?
I've been doing a lot of thinking re what I want in terms of braille. One thought that has occurred to me is that I can translate a txt file into brf format on my BSP, so perhaps having the ability to translate it on the Mac is less important. I still have a PC with Duxbury on it, for those rare occasions when I actually need to print out a hard copy in braille. with this in mind, does your assessment of the braille support change at all? Second, what do you mean by " terrible keystrokes?" Could you give a couple of examples? thanks again, Donna On Jun 6, 2011, at 10:24 AM, erik burggraaf wrote: > Hi Donna, > > as you are a braille user, Eyepal may not be the best option for you right > now.
