Well, thanks for continuing to raise your suggestion.
On my end, I just wish the MBraille main developer would also integrate UEB
into his product sooner than later. I know that his time is taken up with more
profitable apps, but, considering that UEB is basically going to become a
standard, even on an unofficial level, this would be a critical update and
would help motivate and make it possible for more people to become proficient,
not to mention keeping with the changing times.

I agree and keep hoping that someday someone will head my calls. Liblouis
would find many uses if a simple command line interface such as the file2brl
program that can be built from its sources were to be offered as a pre-built
binary for the major platforms (Windows, MacOS and Linux)

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your reply. That all makes sense, and I will look into the
program you mentioned.
I tend to prefer standard typing on my computer, but there are situations
where brailleing would be handy, and I agree with you that Liblouis would
benefit greatly from a user input interface of some sort.
Regards,
Kristina

Kristina;
While you are right that liblouis does support UEB, and a host of other
languages as well, what liblouis is not is an end user tool. Rather it is a
programming library used by computer programmers to make tools and programs
that support Braille output.
While I have long called for the liblouis developers to give some
consideration to generating at the very least command line interfaces in
binary form for people, such as yourself, to use, such has never been done.
So unless you have fairly extensive computer programming experience you are
not likely to find that liblouis is of much use to you.
As for taking notes on a computer in Braille you might look into
BrailleZypher as an option it is a Braille editor that mimics a Perkins
Braille writer on a computer and saves Braille ready files (BRF)
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I am a JAWS and iPhone user, and am new to this list. I should also
mention that I have not yet used Liblouis, but would like to give it a try
soon.
First of all, does JAWS support Liblouis? I have not actually done any
braille input on my PC, so don't know how responsive I can expect JAWS to
be in terms of reading out, in terms of textual content, what has just
been brailled.
Another more immediate interest of mine is to learn UEB. I have MBraille
on my phone, but since that software does not yet have a UEB table, to my
knowledge, there is no practical way for me to begin implementing the code
into my everyday life, so I have not bothered learning the code. I thought
that, if nothing else, LibLouis would at least enable me to practice using
UEB on a regular basis.
I might also be interested in taking some course notes in braille on my
PC. Is this possible, or is Liblouis more for transcription purposes?
Sorry for all the basic questions.
Thank you,
Kristina
