[Menvi-discuss] How Do You Use Web Braille music Files with a Refreshable Braille Display?

[Rachel Grider]

Hello,

I have never done this specifically, but I often will download BRF files, both literary Braille and Music Braille, onto my Apex. I have figured out how to make this work pretty well with braille music files. Might this be an option for you?

I have not played a lot with the BRF functionality of BARD mobile with my Braille display, but I do know that you can't navigate to specific pages, sections, or find strings of text within the BRF file. It is possible, though, that it will save the spot / line of where you left off, in the BRF file, and go from there. However I don't see it as a reliable as the Braille display actually focuses on a special placeholder designed to hold the text in Braille whenever the app knows there's a Braille display connected.

I’d like to know how to go to a specific page number & how to search for specific text, as well as setting a book mark to easily get back to a previously viewed section. I hate the thought of having to print out volumes of braille if there is a way to view it using a refreshable display.
