 eBraille 1.0 has launched! 

 

A digital reading format for braille publications, eBraille focuses on
adapting braille for reading in refreshable braille displays with different
line lengths. Using an EPUB 3-compatible file set based on the Open Web
Platform - using technologies such as XHTML and CSS - to encode braille in
semantically enhanced markup and allow it to adapt to the different
capabilities of braille reading devices. The file set is designed for both
packaged distribution to end users and deployment to the web for online and
downloadable reading. 

 

Composed of 91 people throughout the blindness or low vision field, the
eBraille Working Group represented more than 50 organizations in 16
different countries.
