[nabs-l] Converting inaccessible PDF's

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi guys,
I have a slightly related question. Is there any software or Web-based
service that will convert a Keyword Braille file (one generated on a
Braille Note) to text or Word format? I don't have a Braille Note
anymore, but have some old journals and other files I created on a
Braille Note that I'd like to read, but can't because they're in
contracted Braille (Keyword Braille). For that matter, any way to
convert old files created on a Braille Lite 2000?

Thanks,
Arielle
