Braille Contractions in WinBraille

WinBraille is a free program containing Windows drivers for Index Braille embossers, emboss-direct macros for famous Windows programs like Microsoft Word, a built-in editor for viewing and editing the text in prior to embossing, and a translation engine for Braille contraction translations. The translation engine can handle both grade 1 and grade 2 in many languages, including Greek and Russian. A language, SLIB, “Script Language for Index Braille”, has been created to define contraction rules. WinBraille also includes a rule file editor to edit the contraction rules and to compile them into a binary form, which the engine uses during the translation process.
