Make Your Online Business More Accessible To The Blind
April 25, 2007
The BBC recently reported about RoboBraille.org, a free service that converts your documents in braille.
A Danish company, RoboBraille provides (free to all non-commercial users) a conversion service by email. You send them files in plain text, rich text, html or Word by e-mail and then shortly you receive back your information as an MP3 audio file or as electronic Braille.
Electronic Braille “can be read by a tactile display - a device connected to the computer with a series of pins that are raised or lowered to represent the Braille characters - or sent to a Braille printer”. The following can currently be done:
- Translate documents into contracted Braille
- Translate documents into speech
- Translate text into visual Braille
- Convert text documents between different character sets
- Convert Braille documents to specific Braille character sets
- Partition documents into smaller parts
Shortly about to add PDF document conversion, the company currently processes about 400 conversions a day, but can handle 14,000. Take a look for free conversion to braille.

Today we have Our Velocity by Maximo Park, a cracking song from a brilliant album. The track really kicks in about the 2 minute mark. The album is called Earthly Pleasures.
Heroes Episode Guide - Chapter 11: Fallout
April 23, 2007
They should have called this episode “Fall Apart” as things start going a bit crazy. We find out Mr Bennet isn’t in charge, Eden and the Haitian rebel, Claire starts to panic as her father becomes controlling and Issac shows Hiro he’s going to face a dinosaur.
But that’s not all, Eden stupidly lets Sylar free (as we knew he would - he’s meant to kill Issac) and we learn that it might be Peter, not Ted that blows up New York.
However all might not be what it seems. Unless either Hiro encounters a hero who can change shape or goes back in time, when’s he going to fight a dinosaur. In Peter’s vision, Issac is there but Hiro saw him dead at the time of the explosion and how come he’s having visions anyway?
All questions that keep getting raised and making the series addictive. the only storyline I’m a little bored with is Niki/Jessica, DL and Micah. I’m sure their powers will come to be useful in time but for now they don’t interest me. I’m interested in Issac’s new found role, what will happen to Hiro, what will Peter do and how Mohinder will help everyone.
