Hi Mel,
I'm commercially biased here, being a Duxbury dealer and
support centre. Braille-UK is a Yahoogroups lists where I'm
sure you'd get good suggestions as to what to go for.
But bear in mind that few current packages are fully up to
date with the latest UK rules, especially the free ones.
George.

Hi George,
Thanks for that. I'd be interested in purchasing a Braille
translation package such as Duxbury, but would like to do it
on the cheap if possible!
What sort of prices am I looking at for Braille translation
software? Are all the packages compatible with the Porta
Thiel or is it Duxbury I should be considering?

Hi Mel,
Yes, the Porta-Thiel can be used with Windows XP.
If you are using a package like Duxbury, you do not need any
drivers.
Duxbury has this on its list of embossers, and will output
to whatever port to connect to.
If you simply want to emboss quick notes from the likes of
Notepad, and can accept what is essentially computer
braille, you can add a "Generic/text only" printer on LPT1,
or whatever port you connect the Porta-Thiel to, and output
to that.
George.

Hi Folks
I have a very old Porta Thiel embosser which I have not used
for some time now. Does anyone know if it could be usable
with Windows XP and which software I'd need to purchase to
get it working?
