You would have to use such a program like win bt to backtranslate the brf
file to txt.

It will only work with a braille display. VoiceOver does not translate grade
II braille into speech. Instead, it attempts to speak the ASCII characters.

So, how do I get this thing to read a .brf file? I changed the extension
of one I have on my hard drive to .txt, and copied it to documents 2 via
itunes transfer. I found it in documents 2, but it just reads a bunch of
garbage, similar to what a scanned document reads when something is wrong
with the scan. I was trying to read it with Voice Over, I didn't find any
kind of play button, or anything. I had previously tried getting Voice
Dream to read one of these .brf files, with similar results. If I can get
Documents 2 to read .brf files, I will keep it. Otherwise, it gets
deleted. Thanks for any information. Now, if only NLS would enable the
BARD app to read .brf files with VoiceOver.

Hi All,
I know that some of you use Documents 2 Lite or Documents 2 by Savvy Soda
to read MicroSoft Office documents and to compose documents in text
format? I think it's not possible to use this app to create/edit Word
documents, but it is still pretty useful, and if you change the extension
of .brf files to .txt you can open them and read them in this app, too.
The full version, Documents 2, is normally $3.99 but is free today.
I also tried the recording option, which lets you record a WAV file. Be
aware that VoiceOver volume drops to zero when you start recording. Focus
remains on the record/pause button. If you hold your device in portrait
mode, just flick right to the Play button after double tapping to stop
recording, and double tap again. initiating playback brings VoiceOver
back. When I tried this in landscape mode on an iPad mini, I had to double
click the Home button and do a three-finger swipe up to close the app to
get VoiceOver back. In portrait mode you don't have this problem.
