EuroBraille and Canute - Bristol-Braille/canute-ui GitHub Wiki

Canute supports BRF files encoded in US Braille ASCII (the de facto standard in many places around the world), BRF files encoded in EuroBraille ANSI and PEF files encoded with Unicode Braille.

Switch BRF encodings through the system menu.

If you use a different BRF encoding then contact us and we will add it to the system in the next update. Please provide a clear character mapping against Unicode Braille characters. Meanwhile you can try these solutions:

• If you have Duxbury DBT you can try exporting as a US Braille ASCII BRF file.
• Otherwise we recommend using https://RoboBraille.org/.
• For RoboBraille click, 'Convert a file', upload your document, select 'Braille' as target format, then specify these options:
• Language: e.g. German. Contraction level: e.g. Kurzschrift 6 punkt. Export format: Canute360.
• And give it your email address. You will then be emailed a PEF file. Be sure to check your spam folder. Download it, rename it to a descriptive file name, and copy it to your Canute library card or USB stick.
