Every so often, you’ll encounter a BRF file, with some vague footnotes about how you can use it to emboss your own hard copy of a document. But how do you actually do this?
In this session, Matthew Horspool will take us through the process step-by-step.
He will start by answering some common questions including:
- What is a BRF file anyway?
- How do I know what size paper I need?
- I don’t have the right size of paper: can I still emboss the file?
- Do I need special software to emboss a BRF file?
- Do I need to do anything special on my embosser before I emboss the file?
- I already have braille translation software installed. Why would I choose to emboss a BRF file?
He will then take us on a tour of a free program from Index Braille called IbPrint, which is designed specifically for embossing BRF files. He will explain why it is useful, show us where to download it, talk us through its settings, and demonstrate how it can be used to emboss BRF files on any embosser, even if it’s not made by Index!
Please note: you do not need to be a computer programmer in order to follow this session! However, some knowledge of how to change the settings on your embosser, a methodical mindset, and a willingness to experiment will all be an advantage.
