Supported file formats
The BrailleApp supports printing braille from standard files in
.doc .docx .pdf
.epub.
These files are translated, formatted and page numbered, following the
settings in Active layout.
The BrailleApp also supports the
.dxb
file format used by
Duxbury
. In this case the
BrailleApp will open the .dxb file as a translated braille document. If the page layout
(character per line, lines per page) is the same as in Duxbury, the braille view text is
presented identical in the BrailleApp as in Duxbury. If the braille page layout differs,
the user will get the choice to re-format the braille text layout in the BrailleApp.
Files that can open and send to the printer, but not previewed are:
o
.brf
(Braille file - prints with MIT Legacy braille table)
o
.ibe
- (Index Braille Files - command file for Index embossers)
o
.bra
(a file format used by ONCE braille editor)
o
.elpt
(Epics tactile graphic software)
o
.ebf
(Duxbury translated file - print with MIT Legacy braille table)
The BrailleApp can save the translated Braille document in
.ipf (Index Print
Format)
. This file format can be opened again in preview window, re-edit and saved
in the BrailleApp.
