Hi Vic,
UTDML (Universal Tactile Document Markup Language) enables handling of
tactile graphics and synchronization of Braille and print. That is, for
every line displayed in the Braille view, the Daisy view will contain
the text from which that line was translated. At this stage in
development we are updating just the braille view. Updating the Daisy
view on the left is next.
yes, you can open an xml file and translate it. UTDML files will
eventually support embossing.
I'll be leaving this afternoon and will be back Tuesday evening. I'll be
offline from about 4 p.m. today until 7 p.m. Tuesday.
John
