Other Comments

I get the impression that this app is optimized for creating Braille signage, but it's very easy to use for small translation jobs. The braille can be exported to ASCII and Unicode, as well as image files. I used it to convert extracted text from a pdf Quick Reference guide to Unified English Braille, brf, and it worked great. I just renamed the txt extension to brf and put it on my notetaker's SD card.
