Perhaps George can answer that question for us. All I want is Braille. I don't want to produce braille books. Yet I think there is version 11 of Duxbury if not higher, and search me, but what does it do above version 10.7 apart from make more money for Duxbury? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Hornby" <derek.hornby_uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

So is Duxbury worth  the cost?
Can it do  anything the cheaper Braille
Programs cannot do?

Duxbury is extreamly expensive even to upgrade. I had something once called 
Braille Master and I loved it but I don't think it went even to Windows
2000. It cost a hundred pound at the time.

Hi Eleanor and Niamh

Off the top of my head, Braille Maker comes in two flavours, Standard and
Professional. Standard used to be £195, and Professional £395, but that may 
have changed.  Last I knew, Duxbury was £430.

They are both good programs.  I just prefer Braille Maker for its more
simplistic and straightforward layout. It isn't that I don't like Duxbury, I just prefer Braille Maker. Support for both is very good indeed wherever you obtain it. But Brian Cairney knows the Braille Maker program very well, 
as does George with Duxbury.  Both programs also support the Index
embossers.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi Alex
Cragside Accessibility, in my view, offers superb support for Braille Maker, 
and the program itself is brill!


Kind Regards,
