A few months ago, there was a discussion of dictionaries that work well
on Braille displays. Since we couldn't really find them, the organization
I represent and some people from this list got together and made them. If
you've wanted to have a dictionary that works well on a Braille
display, we now have one. I'm including the announcement of this project,
including links, below.<br><br>
<br><br>
For the past few months, Seeing Hands has been working to make
dictionaries that are designed for use on Braille displays. Instead of
making something that only runs on one display or just doing a straight
translation from text to Braille, we've designed formats that work well
on many displays and make looking up a word as quick and effortless as
possible. If you have a display with an internal file editor or viewer,
it's likely that you can use these formats.<br>
Today, we're making our first public release. We currently have five
dictionaries and a thesaurus for English, available in several formats.
We're planning to add to this number, both by adding more languages and,
if we can find them, more dictionaries as well. We're always open to
suggestions of how we could make these better. While this is our first
public version, it's unlikely to be our last.<br>
You can find these dictionaries at
