Any programming wizzes out there that use a Flowcharting program called
Rapter? Have a student in a programming class that will use Rapter to make
flowcharts and translate them to C++. Is the program accessible through a
screenreader?

I've been looking for information on brailling flow chart symbols (boxes,
diamonds, circles, directional arrows, bidirectional arrows) using inline
braille instead of making tactile graphics. Are there ways to do this in a
way that is clear in braille, or should I stick with tactile graphics?

ALSO If any one can point me in the direction of some good links for
computerbraille examples and explanations, formatting techniques,
etc... that would be awesome. Its a beginning programming class so the code
and programs aren't that complicated. I use the Tiger software suite. I've
been putting all the computer code in one font by hand, translating it with
the software to computerbraille, then translating the rest of the text into
Grade 2. I think the result is correct. If there are any better tricks to
speed things up, I would be eternally grateful.

I use this list all the time, but rarely post questions. So, thank you all
for all the information and help. All of your Q and A's help so many
people. You should be proud of what you've all done to make this world a
more accessible place. Thanks in advance,
