Thanks,  George, Susan  et al!

I was,  in fact,  remembering the company Susan references,  Logisoft 
Sollutions,  but you're right - they are out of business.  So maybe the OBR 
thing is the way to go!  Will investigate.  Thanks for thorough discussion -  
looking forward to testing out the dxb to Word backtranslation technique 
described.  For my immediate project,  turning student braille output into 
print hardcopy without interlining by braille-competent pencilist,  I need the 
scan the hardcopy piece!

I believe what you may have seen is “OBR” – “Optical Braille Recognition”. See 
link below.  I suspect your Texas guys may be dealers.

Subject: [duxuser] Reverse translation software A couple of years ago I saw a 
software demonstrated at CSUN conference which purported to take hardcopy 
braille,   place it on scanner bed,  software took image of dots,  translated 
dot patterns into print text.  The version I saw demo'ed was specifically for 
Nemeth,  but it recognized the difference between Nemeth and literary.  I 
forget the name of the software,  the company that made it,  and everything 
else except the fact that the team came out of Texas.  Anybody know what I'm 
talking about?  Does Dux produce anything that takes hardcopy braille on paper 
and reverse translates it?  Thanks in advance,  -Holly
