Even if all the braille you know comes from reading this page, the Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) allows you to create highly accurate braille for school books, teaching materials, office memos, bus schedules, personal letters, signs compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere you need to be sure of perfection, (just as you would proof-read print books) we would certainly recommend that you also make use of proofreading by a knowledgeable braillist. That braillist may be a DBT user as well because DBT is just as important to professional transcribers--for swift conversion to braille from a wide variety of print sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInterline Printing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDBT has specialized features such as interline printing of print and braille on the same page.
