Hi, Jill! If you have K1000 or OpenBook, you can read the BRF files. You can keep your screen reader loaded, and the Braille display should work. hope this helps!

Yes, that is true unless you have some special software to deal with
braille. Another possibility would be to turn off grade II translation in
your screen reader, which might allow you to read the brf file from wordpad
or something. That will work if the screen reader and display really don't
do any interpreting of the characters being sent, but if you try to find
your place with your computer it will be a big garble. :-)

In order to read Bookshare books with the braille display connected to my
computer, do I have to download them in Daisy Format? Thank you.
