Without some kind of translator, you can't do it. One of the few 
computer-like devices I know of that allows direct reading of .brf files as 
if they were plain text is the PAC Mate, although there very likely are 
others.

Hi Group,

I am looking for a simple way to read brf files on the computer using a
screen reader with a voice synthesizer.  I know that openbook and possibly
Duxbury can enable one to read brf files with voice, but I am looking for a
program that costs $30 or less.  I am not interested in producing a
back-translated file into a txt file, I just want the computer to speak
English when I open a brf file rather than speaking the ascii code.  I do
not think the NFB translation program will do that.  Does anyone have an
answer for me?  Thanks in advance.
Tim
