now that sounds like something that People would love. Being able to
translate a selection say a page by simply going to the the context
menu. Hmm, can that be done with a file? Example, going to the
documents folder, pressing vokeys-shift-m and finding in that context
menu the braille translater and clicking on it? Perhaps if you
expanded that to other codes a small simpl dialog would come up
asking questions or offering radio buttons or a list of possibllities.

I have this working on my Mac and want to know if anyone would find
it useful or not. Braille contextual menu lets you select text in
any Cocoa based application and translate that text into US grade
two braille. In fact it could be made to do it into any number of
other braille codes but that's for another day. The braille is then
placed on the clipboard ready for use
Here is an example.

As of right now I'm using liblouis to do the translation as I have
no idea what will end up in the next OS for braille support.
Anyone interested in this? Should I bundle up all the bits and
release it? Should I wait until the OS has the braille translators
and then do it?
