You can either input yes by pressing Back key + dot 3 and no by pressing Enter key +
dot 6. You could also press the back key to remain in the file. On selecting yes, your file
will be saved and closed. If You select No, then the file will be closed without saving
your edited content. If the File is not modified, then by pressing back button for exit it
will prompt “Close: Yes: No.”
Whenever you exit a file, the last position is stored and bookmarked. So, whenever you
open that file again, it starts from where you had left. This reduces a lot of hassle while
reading long documents over a period. Note, Bookmark for the last 20 files are only
stored.

Preparing files for Braille Me
Braille Me as mentioned earlier does not do any translation or interpretation inside the
device, so files need to be prepared beforehand. For this purpose, we have built a
software which is simple to use and does not need any installation. Open the
application – Braille Me translator. This application converts any TXT file stored in UTF8
format into a Braille Me readable TXT file and vice versa. The first option is Interface
language; this is the language for displaying the menu of the Braille Me translator
software. It has a drop-down menu listing all available languages.
Next is conversion type. This has two options forward conversion and backward
conversion. Forward conversion means converting a desktop readable TXT file to Braille
Me readable TXT file. If you want to read documents which are currently on your PC,
use this option to convert and transfer it to Braille Me. The backward conversion option
is used to convert documents that you have edited or created in braille Me into PC
readable version.
Then we have a button to select the file to be converted. Select the file of interest using
the file explorer. Make sure the selected TXT file is stored in UTF8 format.
Then we have a drop-down menu with the title, data conversion table. Here you select
the language and grade to be used for converting the contents of the file. Make sure
the language and grade are appropriately selected, if not then all characters that are
not found in the selected language will be shown by spaces.
After the language selection, there is a button to select the output folder. It can be any
folder on your computer or the Braille Me SD card directory.
After that, again there is a drop-down menu to select the language and grade for the
filename. Please note, the name of the file can be in a different language then the
contents of the file.
The last option is to select between creating a BRF file or a TXT file. This option is only
available during forward conversion. Press Convert button after filling out all the details.
There can be cases where the file format is wrong, or the file path is faulty, or the
contents of the file do not match the conversion language selected, in all of these
cases and several others the software will give an error.
