[NFB-Braille-Discussion] BRF Files and Audio

[Ellen Ringlein]

Certain devices like a Victor Reader Stream allow someone to listen to a BRF file via audio. Some notetakers with audio also have this capability.

Cordially,

Ellen

OK, so is there any way I could read a BRF file in UEB while only knowing Grade 1 well? Is there any way to convert it into regular text or audio or into Grade 1?

Thanks.
