Hi Tim, That's weird. How does one work with an RTF file on an iPad? I used RTF b/c I move back and forth between Mac and Windows, and thought that way all apps on both platforms would be able to open the file. Cheers, Donna > On Dec 20, 2019, at 5:40 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries >

Re: Is there a version of BrailleBlaster for the Mac?

To my knowledge, there is not a Braille translation package for macs. That is why, when I asked my state agency to purchase an embosser for me, we purchased one with onboard translation. I’ll definitely be curious to know if I’m wrong though, and if a package exists of which I’m not aware.
