BrailleBlaster is a desktop application written in Java that uses the
liblouis and liblouisutdml libraries, which are written in C, to produce
properly translated and formatted braille in many languages and braille
codes. it has special features for math and graphics. By design, it is
friendly to both blind and sighted users, to both beginners and advanced
users. It supports many embossers and braille displays. Development is
still in the early stages.
