[NFB-Braille-Discussion] BRF Files and Audio

[Brown, Debbie]

I know that Duxbury Braille Translator has a Jaws script so that it will read a BRF, but I don't know about any other braille translation program.  Most notetakers have a way to make speech read along with braille, and you can often read aloud only the words you are stuck on.  None of these are smooth reading options but are helpful if you are actually learning grade 2.  If you are looking for a comfortable relaxing read of something that is in BRF format, you can probably find it in another format that is easier to listen to.

Subject: [NFB-Braille-Discussion] BRF Files and Audio

Greetings 

First, I want to let you know that I am new to computer Braille, so please forgive me if I sound completely ignorant in what I am about to ask.

I have the Orbit Reader 20 Plus and an iPhone 8 with the latest iOS.

I am wondering if there is any way to listen to files in BRF format via audio.  I am just learning UEB and currently am best familiar with Grade 1 so, if something is only available in UEB in a BRF format, I have no good way of reading it at this juncture.

Please help if you can.

Thanks.
