Curtis,

WINTRANS actually uses NFBTRANS so it doesn't get around the problem that some have reported with Windows 7.
However, it apparently is only a problem on 64-bit systems. Several of us are working on possible fixes for this, though.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Pat,

You don't need the install.bat file. Assuming you've unzipped the
contents of the nfbtrans file to a folder on your hard drive, just

run nfbtrans.exe. If you don't specify any command-line arguments,
then a console window will open that asks you a series of questions

to accomplish what you want to do.

The other translators I mentioned are free, though I haven't used
Turbo Braille in many years and have little experience with the

xml2brl application.

An anonymous gentlemen wrote a Windows front-end to nfbtrans called
WinTrans some years back. His website no longer exists, but you can

download the installer from
http://www.blind-computing.com/braille/programs/winbt.exe. I've used

it before, and it suits my occasional braille translation needs.

Regards,
Steve

Hi! Wait, , I don't know what other translater you are
talking about. I have the latest version of NFB Trans, however I

can't get it to even run under the install.bat. I'm trying to
install it under Windows Seven. lol.

Okay you mentioned something about Turbo Braille, where can I find it?

Do any of these work under Windows Seven? I can't get NFB Trans to

run at all. It doesn't do anything when I hit enter on the install.bat file.

Any help is greatly appreciated, please.

Thanks.

Window-Eyes works just fine with nfbtrans. Version 7.74, which
dates back to 2002, is the latest release of the software. I've

used Turbo Braille in the past, and an XML to braille translator
based on the open-source liblouis libraries works well also. A

quick Google search for either application should get you where
you need in short order.

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a free braille translater that works well with Window-Eyes.

I need to know if NFB Trans works with Window-Eyes. Also, where
can I get the latest version, please. The version I have was dated in 2002.

Also, what other free braille translator can I get that would

work with the latest Window-Eyes and Windows Seven.

Any help is greatly appreciated, please.

Thanks much.

Pat Ferguson
