The Braille Edge can read BRF, BRL, Word, and TXT. It can be set to save notes in Text or Braille formats. I set it to text so I can easily take my notes from the SD card and read them in word or NoteTab Pro, etc.
I often use it to read word documents, you simply cannot edit them unless you have first converted the file to text or braille.

My memory (which I definitely cannot vouch for) is that it only recognizes .txt files. If so, you might rename the unzipped file extension from .brl or.brf to .txt. Of course, If the Edge recognizes .brl files but not .brf ones, you could change the file extension to .brl if it is .brf when you unzip it. I look forward to hearing what other people say about this. Best, Terrie Terlau -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sandra E. Finley Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2018 9:12 AM To: Listserv IPhone <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Unzipping a .brf file Anna et Al, My plan was to download the .brf onto my Mac, unzip it, and copy the unzipped file to a Braille Edge that I now have. I must not be unzipping correctly because when I go to open the file, one of two things happens. (1) I get either a message that says "no item" or (2), there appears to be a file but there is nothing in it. I say there appears to be a file because when I use the appropriate commands I get told I am at the beginning or end of the wordless document. I have copied some .txt files onto the Edge and opened them successfully. I would love to use BARD but don't know a way to transfer the unzipped BARD file to my Edge -- I use BARD constantly to download audio books onto my stream. Come to think of it can I download a .brf onto my Victor and copy it from that sd card to the card in the Edge? Or will Victor render the .brf file as unintelligible to the Edge?
