Liblouis: a Free Braille Translator
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It features
support for computer and literary braille, contracted and uncontracted
translation for many, many languages (Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Chinese,
Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Finish, French,
Gaelic, German, Greek, Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese,
Romanian, Russian, Norwegian, Slovakian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese,
Welsh) and has support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added
through tables that support a rule or dictionary based approach. Included are
also tools for testing and debugging tables.
Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg). The formatting of
braille is provided by the companion project liblouisxml.
Liblouis has features to support screen-reading programs. This has led to its
use in two Open Source screenreaders, NVDA and Orca. It is also used in some
commercial assistive technology applications, from ViewPlus for example.
Liblouis is based on the translation routines in the BRLTTY screenreader for
Linux. It has, however, gone far beyond these routines. It is named in honor of
Louis Braille. In Linux and Mac OSX it is a shared library, and in Windows it
is a DLL.
