What does our software for braille look like?

What does software for braille do? Most people understand the basics about braille: that it provides a reading medium for blind people, using 'cells' made up of raised dots in various patterns instead of the characters used in regular print.
But many people do not realize that the cells-for-characters substitutions are not, typically, on a one-for-one basis. The process is especially complicated in languages such as English and French where 'grade 2' braille is used, involving 'contractions' that are based in part upon pronunciation.
Formatting of braille pages also involves issues beyond those affecting print. DBT provides translation and formatting facilities to automate the process of conversion from regular print to braille (and vice versa), and also provides word-processing facilities for working directly in the braille as well as the print. 'Fonts' are used for displaying the braille. Who uses software for braille? Our software is designed for two types-those who don't know braille and those who do.

Where you need to be sure of 'perfection,' we would certainly recommend that you also make use of proofreading (just as you would proofread print books) by a knowledgeable braillist-who may be using DBT as well. That is because DBT is just as important to professional transcribers-for swift conversion to braille from a wide variety of print sources.
