Hi,
OK, to read a BRF file, you need to know what braille encoding it is using.
Most, in the English-speaking world will indeed use the NABCC code, as has been
posted. But there is a German, French, Spanish, ... etc, etc.
About the only things that are the same are the basic alphabet, space and
hyphen.
Do you know what created the BRF file you want to read, and from what
organisation?
If you get the encoding right, it will read well; if you get the encoding
wrong, it will have the basic letters correct, but other dot combinations will
be wrong. By "Letters" I mean the 26 Latin letters.
Alternatively, by "read" do you mean you want to back translate the brf into
print? If so, all you need is to know what braille language and grade it is
using and then use lou_translate -b and the table name.
I trust this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Hi all!
Dave, no, I was looking for table to read brf files. The North american
8-dots computer Braille code isn't it.
André-Abush Clause, thank you very much. I've saved this table for me. I
thought that there is this table in official Liblouis tables, but OK.
