Wonderful news Peter, thanks.

I can only find a version of the extension that is for windows platforms.
Will that work on GNU/Linux or where can I find the other version?

Best,

Fernando

Hi gang,

I thought this group might be interested in the AEGIS-funded odt2braille
project, an LGPL licensed extension to OpenOffice.org (and which also works with
Oracle Open Office).  Combined with OOo Writer, odt2braille provides a complete
Braille authoring environment - supporting printing directly to a variety of
braille embossers as well as exporting to both BRF and PEF format files (and
with grade 2 translation support for a growing number of languages).

See http://odt2braille.sourceforge.net for details (and also see
http://odt2braille.sourceforge.net/support.html for the manual and screen
casts).  Also see
http://odt2braille.sourceforge.net/doc/odt2braille-dev-doc.html for the
developer guide.

Thus far it has been fully (or nearly fully) localized to English, Dutch,
French, Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, Slovenian, German, and Norwegian, with
significant translation work underway to Swedish, Icelandic, Danish, and Czech.


Regards,

Peter
