Hi Erik Here are two excerpts from the Gnopernicus web site home page: ---------- Braille devices supported DM80p, VARIO, VARIO20, VARIO40, VARIO80, ALVA 544 ---------- Braille component The Braille component is a SO (shared object) which accepts input in BML (Braille Markup Language, a XML dialect developed at Baum) and many known Braille devices (currently just a couple of Baum devices are supported). Braille is a medium, which allows a non-sighted person to read text by touch, is also a method for writing tactile text. This component makes a translation from a screen object in to the readable Braille code set. The braille code is physically presented as raised dots, usually arranged in cells of up to 6 dots. The module can be configured from a Gnopi user interface. ---------- That's about all I can tell you about the braille side of it. No mention anywhere of grade 2 translation.
