WinBraille can be used without prior Braille knowledge. It converts computer documents to literary or contracted Braille.

The trouble to set up old DOS type Braille editors is now history. WinBraille controls the embosser in the same way as MS word controls you laser printer.

WinBraille supports translation to contracted and un-contracted Braille for more than thirty languages. The advanced user can create Braille translation support for local languages and make individual rules for Braille translation and formatting.

WinBraille provides advanced formatting features required for Braille document production such as header and footer handling, table and bullet formatting, hyphenation etc.

WinBraille includes standard Windows image control and the unique feature to convert images to tactile graphic format on-line. Braille text can be pasted into any position utilizing the increased graphical resolution (0.5 mm). Supported image formats: BMP, TIF, WMF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF and SIG.

WinBraille supports embossing of existing Windows documents of the most common formats such as Microsoft Word and Excel, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Microsoft Outlook, Internet pages and ordinary text documents. Images in Microsoft Word documents can be translated to tactile pictures and included in the braille text.

Connect the Index Braille embosser to your network as a standard network printer and share it between all users through WinBraille, which is free of charge.

Imagine a blind school with a number of teachers and blind pupils. Using WinBraille opens the window to emboss on to the network, directly from their individual computers. Compare this with traditional embossers without network support and the cost for multiple user licenses on commercial Braille editors.

 

 

 

 

Personal Setup:

During installation you select standard set-up for your country including for example paper size, Braille translation and formatting rules. Save your personal WinBraille set-up in a file for backup and for making identical WinBraille installations on other computers. The network administrator can perform software maintenance of the WinBraille installations on all clients directly from the server.
