>A few months ago, there was a discussion of dictionaries that work 
>well on Braille displays. Since we couldn't really find them, the 
>organization I represent and some people from this list got together 
>and made them. If you've wanted to have a dictionary that 
>works  well on a Braille display, we now have one. I'm including the 
>announcement of this project, including links, below.

>For the past few months, Seeing Hands has been working to make 
>dictionaries that are designed for use on Braille displays. Instead 
>of making something that only runs on one display or just doing a 
>straight translation from text to Braille, we've designed formats 
>that work well on many displays and make looking up a word as quick 
>and effortless as possible. If you have a display with an internal 
>file editor or viewer, it's likely that you can use these formats.
>Today, we're making our first public release. We currently have five 
>dictionaries and a thesaurus for English, available in several 
>formats. We're planning to add to this number, both by adding more 
>languages and, if we can find them, more dictionaries as well. We're 
>always open to suggestions of how we could make these better. While 
>this is our first public version, it's unlikely to be our last.
>You can find these dictionaries at
