John,
If you haven't seen it, you may want to read this article:
http://www.hamradioandvision.com/digital-mode-text-to-speech/
While this guy isn't going into braille, and may be doing things the
hard way, you may find this interesting and maybe a starting point for you.
As Howard mentioned, there are programs that turn morse code into text.
CWget is a free program that springs to mind. Maybe you can go to
braille this way.
If you want to go old school, deaf guys have been doing cw for decades
using a device that turns the sounds of the dots and dashes into
something that they can feel with their fingertips.
