[nabs-l] Reading Electronic Braille on a Display

[David]

If you're using a computer to read the BRF files with a display, you could
change the extention to .txt and open them in Word Pad. You would have to
disable Grade 2 Braille translation, since BRF files use Ascii characters
for Braille signs.

If she has a braille display, she could use it to read the books.  But
they'd sound like gobldygook if read using her screen-reader without braille
translation software.

I might be wrong, but I think that you need to have Braille translation
software in order to read BRF files on the computer. What screen reader are
you using?
