What is Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT)?
- DBT is a braille translation software that converts inkprint (normal text) into braille or braille into inkprint. Usually the inkprint is in a word processor file or at an URL and they can be translated into braille by using this software. The braille could be sent to a braille embosser to produce physical braille or to an electronic notetaker.
- Another circumstance is that someone has braille in an electronic braille notetaker that they want to produced in inkprint to be shared with someone who does not read braille.
- DBT is known for its easy of use and accurate translation, and is the world-wide leader for text (print) to Braille translations, Braille editing, formatting, production, publishing and related tasks.
- A braille translator can run on a smartphone, personal computer, network server, or (historically) larger mini-computers or mainframes of larger institutions.
