According to your advise it found free download. but we have not clear how is it run and function and procedure. it is our main problem. So would like request you let me know us the its application method. If is it succeed it help us and change in Braille education in Nepal. it goes on fast translation and produce fast it means the blind students of Nepal can get Braille Books on Time.
