Curious if anyone knows of publicly available online resources for any kind of ready-to-emboss #Braille books in non-English languages?

Took a very interesting trip to Brighton today to test some #braille for the London Royal Parks which is going to be displayed outside next to a tactile model of a temple. Unfortunately it was barely legible as the dots were scratchy under the fingers and the lines weren’t straight so the braille bled together. They’ve got some work to do but good on them for actually getting it tested out by a braille reader! #blind

the following post has been brought to you by #Braille, the most tactile way to read labels.

I love when people sell things for the blind and say "see pictures"! Anyway, can someone please tell me what this is? I doubt it's a Perkins. Could it be a New Hall? I can't believe the price!

If it helps, here is a page on old braillewriters.

I’ve been tutoring in London this morning and the book I adapted for my #Braille learner wwent down well… it’s a board book with only a few words per page, lots of moving parts and even a little mirror at the end for her granddaughter to enjoy looking in! #bookstodon #blind

Now that Vision Australia radio has officially finished with my Talking Tech show which I had to stop once I left Va last year,, its going back to its original presenter and feed starting next Tuesday May 13 2025.. SoPresenter is original me, and feed is my iSee feed (original feed - feed.podbean.com/davidwoodbr/f
As usual plenty of general tech stuff, and AT demos. the only thing I won't be doing is any devices which are a direct competitor to HumanWare products which is just the way it is.
Catch you on the other side grin.

Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Spent a nice, quiet day with the hubs. ❤️
2. Closed all my fitness rings today. 💪
3. Finally remembered to charge my eReader so I can read more of the Braille book I’m working on. 🙌🏻
Bonus: We watched the first epi of season 1 of The Wheel of Time and I’m hooked already!

When you see this mural, you find alt-text on the wall to your left.

1. Finished another chapter in Braille! 🙌🏻
2. Preordered the next book in the Shifters Unbound series by Jennifer Ashley. 📚
3. I didn’t place a bet on my choice for the Kentucky Derby and that is good because my choice didn’t win. 🤣

Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Finished a chapter in Braille! 🙌🏻
2. I finished another book in the Elm Creek Quilts series and hubs and I finished another audio book as well. Audio books go so much faster than Braille but I’ll never give up my Braille.
3. Didn’t manage a workout or complete my 10,000 steps but I did close my fitness rings. 💪

OK so this is probably a weird question but, would it be possible to get a modern braille-display to work in an old DOS-based scree-reader if the screen-reader has braille-support?

1. Got the test strips sewn to the muslin foundation and I do think the painter’s tape as a seam guide is going to work for quilting. 🙌🏻
2. Snuck in some Braille reading today. I’m determined to finish this chapter tomorrow.
3. Got the towels and washcloths washed and dried today. I’ll get them folded and put away tomorrow.
Bonus: Closed my fitness rings again. I love how much energy I have since I’ve started exercising again.
Sleep well and may your dreams take you to the stars. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodNight #Quilting #Braille #Fitness

I am really hoping for this Global Accessibility Awareness Day in May, that Apple does the usual release comments on the upcoming changes for accessibility in iOS, and macOS in particular coming out later in the year and available as developer builds at WWDC. Of course I'm hoping that they will announce support for the Monarch multi line tactile display. #a11y #accessibility #apple ##iOs #Macos #GAAD #braille

I’ve written a few thoughts on The Talented Mr Ripley, 1955, by Patricia Highsmith, a fabulously tense thriller that’s the definition of a page-turner for me #bookstodon #BookReview #Storygraph #Braille @bookstodon

I was merrily typing away on my Brailliant, with one headphone connected to my phone, one connected to the laptop, a power wire connecting the laptop and another connecting the #Braille display… and then the doorbell rings! Untangling myself from all that was quite a ridiculous mess! I need to be more organised I guess but the sofa’s so comfy haha! #blind

1. Finished a chapter in Braille. That is always at the top of my list because it is the best thing of all as far as I’m concerned. 😁
2. Finished another Elm Creek Quilts novel, The Runaway Quilt, and it was as good as the first time I listened to it. 📚
3. Didn’t have to mist my air plant today because it was rainy and the humidity level in the house was 60% so that was plenty for Alf.

Por fin nos ha llegado el Monopoly accesible. NO os voy a decir lo que ha costado, pero el gusto y las ganas. Eso sí, estamos con @kastwey y el peque on fire por probarlo, luego trato de mandar un toot con fotitos del tablero. Es de Estados Unidos, y está en braille contraído, que además diría que es distinto el inglés americano al de aquí así que tocará aprender.
