Ottawa Canada Dear Nicole and List: If your Braille Blazer still works, then yes it will work with modern Braille translation programs. And yes, someone would certainly accept it as a donation, like me for instance. While the Blazer is slow, it is also highly portable and you can stuff it under some sofas when not in use.
