Danish Braille Translator  

FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY

The Danish tables support print-to-braille and braille-to-print translation of Danish-language literary text in contracted, partially contracted (grade 1½), or uncontracted Danish braille. The American Computer Braille Code (CBC) is also supported.

REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS

Working with Hans Rasmussen of the Institute for the Blind and Partially Sighted in Denmark, a partnership facilitated by Techno-Vision Systems Ltd. of Northampton, England, Duxbury Systems began developing these tables in June 2003. The primary source was "Den Danske Punktskrift 1993," with information on later changes to that standard provided by Mr. Rasmussen. "Forkbra," a public-domain Danish braille translation program, was also used to generate sample texts.
