HiEveryone;
I am experiencing total frustration with the Braille Edge and, the SmartBettle.
On the Smartbettle I am trying to read (BRF files using the Bard Mobile app.

I am trying to search for passages in
Both Braille input and output have three modes starting with iOS 8. There's
contracted, uncontracted, and eight-dot. With a .brf file, you should use
8-dot, since these files are all upper-case.
With your "capitalization" example, it looks like you're using Unified English
Braille. If you want
So I made sure my display was in un-contracted, 8-dot mode and loaded one

You can also read these files using Bard if you choose. Often, Bard will show
up as a choice in the "open in" menu.

Set your braille display to 8-dot braille output with dots 2 3 6 space. Make
sure you are not in contracted braille mode. Now, you will be able to read the
file in any of the file viewing apps.

I am wondering how one can read .brf files using the iPhone and a
Braille display. These are not files from Bard, but are other files in
a .brf format. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I would love to see this implamented into voice dream reader! There are
materials from NLS that are only available in braille, and though I grew
up using braille, because of my hands, being a diabetic, I find it very

The Victor Reader Stream will read .BRF files just fine. I don't
understand why the app couldn't be made to do it as well!

You will need a Braille display to read these files on your device. If you're

Hi, Mary,
IOS has a built[in translator to convert text into Grade Two Braille. As an
aside, it does not have a back-translation program to convert brf files into
Grade One.
A brf file is actually a plain ASCII text file with normal characters that
represent Braille. There is no special comput
Hi Teresa,
I'm confused. What I think you said is that it is possible to read brf files if
you first convert them to epub for importation into iBooks. How the heck do you
convert a brf file into an epub? And once you did that, then wouldn't it be
translated out of braille grade II into regular
speech, but in truth and action.
