BrailleBlaster
BrailleBlaster is a free braille transcription program from the American Printing House for the Blind that converts NIMAS textbook files into properly formatted UEB or EBAE braille, including math, tables, and transcriber notes.
Why it stands out
It leverages NIMAS markup and the open-source Liblouis translator to automate textbook formatting tasks like volume splitting, tables of contents, and its patented Spatial Math Editor, so blind students receive braille textbooks on the first day of class.
