[Menvi-discuss] Braille Display with .brf Files

[Tina Ektermanis]

Hello there, Dale,

What I sometimes do is open BRF files in Notepad on the PC, and set the 
screen reader to not translate to contracted Braille.  If it shows 
really weird things on the display, it's likely trying to translate an 
already-translated file, which I must say, does look rather odd indeed.

I don't know what operating system you're running on the PC, nor the 
screen reader you're using, so it would be tough to give any 
step-by-step instructions, just concepts of how this will work.

Hope this is helpful nonetheless.
