If anyone wants it, I have a very detailed document which describes setting up
and sending files between the computer and most of FS's old notetakers,
including braille n speaks, type n speaks, braille lites, type lites, and those
lines. It uses HyperTerminal and the serial cable which should have come with
the notetaker. If you don't have one you can still buy them fairly priced. This
is useful because you A, don't have to shell out major money for the disk
drive, but also B, you are not limited to the capacity of a floppy. On the
other hand, the disk drives are much more portable than a computer or even
laptop, and they turn on instantly.
I won't be home until Monday night, but if you want it just email me at

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.

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
