[Ito Akinori]

Thank you Marianne,

This time, he, who is totally blind, needs to read German braille without contractions. He reads English both grade 1 and grade 2,
but now ,  he reads Germany braille without contractions (like English grade 1).

Good Afternoon,
There is a way to have jaws read german Braille.  I am from Switzerland and german is my first language.  The problem is not the
letters, except for some umlauts.  The problem is that in german Braille there are different conractions than in English grade two
Braille.  One thing you can do is talk to your coworker.

Hello all.

I am Ito Akinori, a disability service coordinator at The University of Tokyo, JAPAN.

One of our faculty who is totally blind needs to read Germany braille.
WIll anyone teach me how to make Germany braille?

He has printed version of Germany book.
He needs to print out by braille printer to Germany braille.

There are some OCR softwares of Germany in Japan.
But I don't know how to translate Germany text data into Germany Braille data by using software.

and if possible please teach me the latest good way to translate English text data into English Braille data by using computer
software.

Thanks for your kindness.
