Good point -- we should have described software features more up front.
The announcement did include this link to the full documentation
http://EmpowermentZone.com/WinBT.htm
Here are a couple of exerpts from that web page:
WinTrans is a windows interface to the NfbTrans program. Its purpose is to
allow windows users to translate text files to grade II braille and grade
II braille files to text without dealing with the dos environment in which
NfbTrans runs.
The program converts ascii text into braille and sends the result to a
file or an embossor. Special formatting commands may be placed in the
text to customize the output. No knowledge of braille is required to use
this program,

was that was being created. I guess I'm suggesting one take about a
sentence
or two to explain what winTrans does and how it can help the individual
and
the population it intends to help. I ran a quick Google search to learn
more
about this and came across this link:
http://www.nfb.org/nfb/nfbtrans.asp
Again not much in terms of context or explanation of benefits for the
population that might have a need for this kind of tool. Seems like lots
of
effort to put into something if there's no demand.
