Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT)

Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) produces contracted and uncontracted braille, mathematics and technical braille. The software supports grade 1 and grade 2 translation (if available) in all South African languages, as well as many other languages.

Formatting of braille pages involves issues beyond those affecting print. DBT provides translation and formatting facilities to automate the process  of conversion from regular print to braille (and braille to print), and also provides word processing facilities for editing directly in the braille as well  as the print. A special braille “font” is used for displaying the braille on the screen.
