[nabs-l] Reading grade 1 Braille electronically

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Hi.  I agree with Ryan.  I'd say that most if not all braille displays
will work and can be set to read grade one braille.  However, it might
be harder to find braille books in grade one.  This would be very
expensive, but I'm pretty sure you could get a program like duxbury,
set it to translate to grade one braille, and set an embosser to
emboss in grade one braille, then any document you would emboss would
be done in grade one braille.
