Braille and Formatting

WinBraille supports translation to contracted and un-contracted Braille for more than thirty languages. The advanced user can create Braille translation support for local languages and make individual rules for Braille translation and formatting. WinBraille provides advanced formatting features required for Braille document production such as header and footer handling, table and bullet formatting, hyphenation etc.

Mathematic Support

Type mathematic in Word or in WinBraille with the MS Equation Editor. The mathematic expression may be translated to Nemeth or Swedish mathematic braille code.  

Tactile Graphics

WinBraille includes standard Windows image control and the unique feature to convert images to tactile graphic format on-line. Braille text can be pasted into any position utilizing the increased graphical resolution (0.5 mm). Supported image formats: BMP, TIF, WMF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF and SIG.

Windows Support

WinBraille executes on the latest Windows operating systems: Windows 2003, Windows XP Home and Professional and Windows 2000. WinBraille supports embossing of existing Windows documents of the most common formats such as Microsoft Word and Excel, Adobe Acrobat PDF, Microsoft Outlook, Internet pages and ordinary text documents. Images in Microsoft Word documents can be translated to tactile pictures and included in the Braille text.

Full Network Support Included

Connect the Index Braille embosser to your network as a standard network printer and share it between all users through WinBraille, which is free of charge. Imagine a blind school with a number of teachers and blind pupils. Using WinBraille opens the window to emboss on to the network, directly from their individual computers. Compare this with traditional embossers without network support and the cost for multiple user licenses on commercial Braille editors.

Can be used with Index Braille Embossers only
