Summary of Progress and Remaining Challenges in UEB Electronic Braille Translation
One of the charges of the General Committee on Electronic Braille is to keep the board of the Braille Authority of North America informed about progress and challenges in the implementation of Unified English Braille in braille translation software, about relevant innovations in braille translation technology, and about the implications of these for the work of the BANA board. The committee has assembled and revised the following information over time, tracking developments in braille translation in screen readers, stand-alone braille devices, and braille translation software packages. This is a working document that we update whenever we learn of new issues or improvements.
