Michael,
Like so many other noble ideas in this world, teaching responsible use of
translation software is by no means a simple task. Even among people who
transcribe braille all the time, it's a tough job, and far more difficult when
brailling is one of many jobs, and probably fairly low priority. If you doubt
what I'm saying, think of everything you know about the transcribing process,
and imagine trying to explain it step by step to someone who knows next to
nothing about braille, or the issues related to brailling. Speaking from
experience, it's a full-time job.

I was actually suggesting you contact the company the bill came from (utility
company, credit card company, etc).
And godd point steve. Still think they could have done better. Most things
on a bill are repeated, so I think they could have that much right. Maybe the
companies have software and an embosser and do it themselves.
And a mea culpa to the moderator. I do think the issue of responsible use of
translation software may be on topic, but maybe that's just the activist in me!
