Duxbury Braille Translator Manual Welcome to DBT! Thank you for choosing the Duxbury Braille Translator! DBT has several types of on-line help. This help system is the standard for Microsoft Windows XP and later. Before we proceed, you may wish to adjust the size of text displayed here. If you have a wheel mouse, click anywhere in this topic, hold down the Control key, and roll the mouse wheel backwards and forwards to increase or decrease the font size to an acceptable level. If you do not have a wheel mouse, the text size can be adjusted via the "Text Size" option in Internet Explorer's View menu. Note also that if you wish to print a Topic, your selected text size will be reflected in the printed output. Learn how to use this help system Guidelines for the Use of Braille Translators One of the most important, and perhaps obvious, things to watch out for when producing braille, is using the correct Language Translation Tables. An English document, translated using French braille rules would produce a very strange form of braille. But even an English document has its own National Braille Table. BANA has an excellent set of general guidelines for the use of braille translators, entitled "Guidelines for the Production of Braille Materials Through the Use of Braille Translation Software," available on its web site at: http://www.brailleauthority.org Many pointers given there are applicable generally, not only in BANA countries. BAUK also publishes various material relating to English/British braille. You can find more information on BAUK at http://www.bauk.org.uk. In general, whenever it is important that the braille be of high quality according to applicable standards -- which is in most instances, especially for educational or other public uses -- a qualified person should proofread or otherwise monitor the braille for translation accuracy and appropriate format. Without such monitoring, it is possible for many factors to adversely affect the quality of automatically translated braille, especially if the content or format is at all complex. A Braillist's Pledge of Professional Ethics I pledge to: prepare braille materials in an accurate, timely manner, without personal interjection, refrain from using any information obtained in the performance of my duties in a manner that would be detrimental to the agency or person for whom the material was transcribed, treat all material transcribed as confidential unless the material is publicly available or an agreement has been obtained in writing that the information may be disclosed, conduct business in a professional manner with dignity, respect and courtesy, accept assignments as dictated by my knowledge of the subject matter, braille skill competency level, and ability to complete the assignment on a mutually agreed upon date, and continuously develop the highest levels of knowledge and skills through professional development in my chosen specialty. --Adopted by the National Braille Association, November 2003 Keyboard Shortcuts A keyboard shortcut, also known as an accelerator, allows you to trigger an action without stepping through the menus with the normal menu keys.

However, you may at some later stage wish to make changes, or perhaps re-install to one or more additional systems. This section therefore provides details of the various options available to you. DBT supports these three types of installation: 1. Simple Installation is nearly automatic, and is sufficient for the needs of most users. 2. Custom Installation allows a greater degree of control over the installation, but in practice should be seldom needed. 3. Network Installation allows network support personnel to easily install and maintain multiple DBT installations through a network. To get started, simply choose, from the list above, the type of installation that fits your needs, click the link and start reading. If you're unsure which to try, we strongly recommend Simple Installation. Related Topics: End User License Agreement (EULA) The EULA is a legal agreement between you and Duxbury Systems, Inc. Removing DBT How to use the Control Panel to Remove DBT (should that be neccesary) Removing DBT The procedure for removing DBT from your system is done via Windows' Add/Remove Programs accessible from the Control Panel. Provided you are connected to the Internet, (without firewall restrictions) the removal process will normally adjust your activation count, ensuring that you can activate later on another system. In the event you are NOT connected to the Internet, a text file will be placed on your desktop with de-activation information. This file may be e-mailed or faxed to Duxbury Systems whereupon your License count will be adjusted accordingly. Registration and Activation Please note that these are two distinct processes which must be done in sequence. We would also stress that should you wish to remove DBT from a system, perhaps to install it on another or to reformat the existing system, DBT should be properly de-activated as explained in the "Remove DBT" Topic. 1) Registration: Before you can activate DBT, you MUST Register the software. This is easiest done via DBT's Help: Registration form and will pre-populate the form with your License Number. If you have an Internet connection, you may send the form direct to Duxbury Systems. If not, you may fax the form to the fax number provided in the Welcome to DBT: About Duxbury Systems topic. Help: Registration... Keystroke: r (from menu) We cannot stress enough the importance of Registering your copy of the Duxbury Braille Translator. Amongst other benefits, this will ensure your eligibility to receive free updates via the Internet. If you wish to register on line now please click the Registration item in DBT's Help menu. If you do NOT have an Internet connection, you may use the form provided at Installation: Registration Form. 2) Activation: If you have not yet activated DBT, each time you run the program, you will see an "Activate" button at the bottom right hand side of the initial splash screen. To begin the activation process, click on this button. Activation There are two places you may Activate from. The first is the initial splash screen which appears when you run DBT. The second is from the Help: About DBT... dialog. When you click on either "Activate" button, the following dialog will appear. Select an appropriate radio button. Your choice essentially depends on whether or not you have an Internet connection. The Activation Wizard will lead you through the process of activating DBT on your computer. It works most easily through an internet connection, but will offer you other ways to activate if you do not have, or cannot use, your internet connection. The Activation Wizard may prompt you for software registration information (your contact information) along the way. Keyboard: e from Global menu. (Advanced Users - See also Editing the emb.elt file.) This module is purely to enable you to set up one or more embossers on your system, and to allow you to specify a default embosser for all new documents. If you wish to change the embosser or its settings for an individual document, (new or existing) you MUST do this in Document: Embosser Setup. The Global: Embosser Setup dialog is used to tell DBT about your braille embosser.

  • Embossit Welcome

    Embossit Welcome

    ABC Amber CHM Converter Trial version, http://www.processtext.com/abcchm.html Embossit Welcome The EmbossIT software is a product of Duxbury Systems that allows you to emboss Braille Formatted Files to your braille embosser. What is a Braille Formatted File? A Braille Formatted File is a file containing characters designed to be sent to an embosser. A Braille Formatted File may be prepared by a program such as: Duxbury DBT MegaDots Microbraille ED-IT PC Pokadots These files may also be distributed as a web braille files. One frustration is that braille formatted files are not standardized. Some have spaces in them as a left margin. Some use form feeds (the control character that means end of a page), some do not. Various processing may change the end of line characters. These and other variations can be a problem for someone who just wants to produce braille. Embossit is carefully designed to work with these and other variations in file layout based on the broad experience of Duxbury Systems with many aspects of how braille is produced using computers. Another frustration about braille formatted files is that they are fixed in layout. They are not intented to be modified. If you have a file formatted for 41 characters across, there is no way to emboss that file with an embosser that can only produce 40 cells across. When you select a file, Embossit figures out what the page dimensions are. Embossit does not allow you to emboss a file that cannot be produced with the selected embosser configuration. To make braille formatted files work for Embossit, some file modifications may be necessary.

Obviously our children do not grow up to exhibit all these traits, but most of them do well enough with the skills and attributes we do manage to impart to them.

Bagane, Prof. S.R. Jagtap Dept. of Electronics & Telecommunication Engg., RIT, Islampur, India. [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT- Visually impaired people are the sense of touch to read the Braille cell and then understands the indispensable unit of our community. Their disabilities given English alphabet. about the eyesight make them less accessible to computer, educational software and digital data which turn to limit their own knowledge. The main problem faced by them is to read digital data in terms of Braille language. Braille language is represented by 6 dots arranged in 3x2 matrix and it is readable only through the sense of touch. This paper introduces electronic Braille which consists of Fig. 1 - Six dot Braille cell Braille reader and Braille writer. Reading is possible through tactile pin module arranged in 3x2 matrix and According to International building standard for a Braille cell writing is possible through the Braille keypad. Whatever (as shown in fig. 2), tactile pins should be raised up to 0.5 mm, data is to be read or write will be stored in the SD card. distance between centers of the two dots is 2.5mm and diameter This small electronic Braille device will be portable and of one dot should be 1 mm [1]. has a low cost than that of learning materials of blind people.

Due to lack of perceiving on braille symbols and characters, it was highly needed fact to Keywords: develop Braille system to different languages. In the Sri Lankan context, we found that the Braille mostly inconvenience are happening inside of Sri Lankan education system. Such as in Visually impaired Special Education centers, Colleges, and universities. Written Braille scripts are evolution Sinhala braille by a limited number of people who are specialized in the Sinhala braille system. Also, the Optical braille recognition process of marking braille documents are not effective and efficient. The focus of this research is to address the issue of literal communication gaps between society and the blind people in Sri Lanka. Average quality single-sided composed Braille dot characters are identified with maximum accuracy by using several novel methodologies.
