MegaDots is a mature DOS braille translator with powerful features for the
volume transcriber and producer. Its straightforward, style-based system and
automated features let you create great braille with only a few keystrokes. Yet it is
sophisticated enough to please the fussiest braille producers -- you can control
each step MegaDots follows to format, translate and produce braille documents.
MegaDots 2.3 now has a Windows installation program that automatically installs
your desktop icons and shortcuts. The headaches of installation are now gone!
- Does MegaDots Do Windows?
Yes, even though MegaDots 2.3 is still an MS-DOS application. MegaDots works
with Windows 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP, and Vista.
- Can MegaDots bring in files from Microsoft Word? Yes. However, until
recently MegaDots did not bring in files from recent versions of Word, specifically
files from Word 97 and Word 8. Beginning with version 2.02, MegaDots imports
these files very well, as long as you are working on a Windows 98 or higher system
(and you are not running in MS-DOS mode).
- If a blind person uses mainly Windows applications on their computer,
can they use MegaDots with voice or refreshable Braille access? Yes.
JAWS works in DOS applications. We have included a set of MegaDots script files,
for use with JFW 3.0 or higher.
- Can MegaDots print through Windows? We have greatly simplified the
process of printing braille from MegaDots through Windows.
- How Do People Use MegaDots?
Large braille production services use MegaDots to produce braille textbooks
efficiently for blind students. The program's speed lets them move through a great
amount of material in a short time.
Elementary school students as young as third grade are using MegaDots to make
braille and to learn about computers.
Teachers find MegaDots helpful in quickly getting braille to their blind students.
There are exercise and directions styles for making exams and worksheets in
MegaDots.
MegaDots is used by several deaf-blind persons as their main reading and writing
tool.
Blind computer programmers use MegaDots to make computer program listings in
braille.
Volunteer transcriber groups use MegaDots in a variety of ways-both for
translation and for 6-key direct entry of braille.
Schools and transcribers use MegaDots to make grade one braille in Spanish,
French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
