obtain textbooks from APH or get transcribed titles from NLS or NBP, the braille
should be correct and formatted. You may also get braille translation software
that produces automatically translated braille using programs like ‘Liblouis’.
Alternatively, you can have ‘Bookshare’ automatically generate braille files of the
titles available.
