Hi, Monica. Braille 'n Speaks can handle braille files. Do you have a cable and
use Windisk for it? I don't know anything about new Braille 'n Speaks and if
they're anything like the newer Braille Lites, but even if you don't, if you
have a disk drive, unpack the braille file, save the unpacked version onto a
floppy and put it on your Braille 'n Speak that way. Braille 'n Speaks don't
handle RTF files, or at least Braille Lites don't and I know they're very
similar besides the Braille 'n Speak's lack of a braille display. Take care.

Actually, I wanted to take the brf file, open it somehow and put it onto my
braille N Speak to read on my trip this weekend. Can anyone advise as to how
I can do this? I'm not sure about Daisy because I'm not familiar with it. I
do have Jaws 5.0, an old version of Duxbury for Windows and version 5.0 of
K-1000. I'm hoping to upgrade to the latest k-1000 version in a few months
when finances permit. Sorry, for the long post and my computer ignorance in
advance.
Monica

You certainly can. There might be some translation errors, and the
formatting might look kind of strange, but it can be done. Don't do this if
you're planning to resubmit to Bookshare as a replacement, though. I don't know
if that's what you had in mind or not, but if it was just for your own personal
use and if you don't care about the formatting and don't mind whatever
translation errors you might have, go for it. I've done BRF to TXT a few times
but not very often, so it just depends on what you want it for. Take care.

Hello list. Can I open a bookshare brf file in k-1000 and then save it
as an rtf document? Thanks.
