There used to be a free text-to--braille transcription service at

www.hotbraille.com,

[At present, 'under construction']

which is the one Susi was thinking of.

This applied to reasonably short documents, and was mainly done in American
braille.

Now, we have

www.robobraille.org

- a European-Union aided multilingual service
from Denmark, which also offers transcriptions into british braille.

The free WinTrans braille translation program, which was referred to
subsequently, can be downloaded from

www.wintrans-bt.org

The latter two programs can produce embosser-ready braille files.
