Jim,

My braille transcription engine, consisting of the software libraries
liblouis and liblouisxml and the command-line program xml2brl will
translate xml files from bookshare with computer braille at appropriate
places. It currently works on Linux and Mac. A Windows version is
planned. To learn more about it and to download it, go to
http://www.jjb-software.com . I invite you and anyone else to write to
me off-list.

John

Hi,
Is there a way to tell the translator to use computer braille for part of
the text of a book? For books on programming, grade 2 would totally ruin
the code.

Thanks.
