Hi Holly,
This is where (and I hardly dare say this to an American) Unified
English Braille (UEB) may well come in to its own with its design
consideration for back-translation.
We're moving to UEB here in the UK, so these are issues which are
raising their heads as I write.
George.

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
