Requestor Work Location*: Annex Rm 223
Requestor Title*: Braillist/Braille Translator & Transcriber
Software Name*: BrailleBlaster
Software Description*: Free Braille translation software to translate from print to Braille. Side by side translation is visible which is a perk over the current software in use (Duxbury).
URL for download (Required)*: https://www.brailleblaster.org/
Purpose / Use / Notes*: This is a free download. It would be great to have on the work computer since I have it on my home computer and then computer files would be easier to emboss and edit in Braille when transferring files from home to work (during our work-at-home times nowadays). Also, since it is free, it would be nice to use it at work to see if it would be a good option for regular work use.
