Hi John,
I have looked at the document you sent me privately, and I can indeed
confirm that what you are looking at is an already translated braille file.
If you had a braille display, you would be able to read it O.K., however
JAWS will make no sense of it at all, because it is not able to
back-translate braille files into speech.
I have quoted the beginning 3 lines of the file here.
,,PC ,,_W
,MAY #BJJC
,VOLUME #BA1 ,NO4 #E
That didn't make sense, did it?
However it is ascii grade 2 braille saying:-
PC World
May 2003
Volume 21. No. 5
In actual fact, you may be able to simply "print" the file direct to your
braille embosser, where it will perhaps make more sense.
George Bell.
