Braille Ready Format (.brf)
The Braille Ready Format (BRF) is a digital text file format used to store braille transcriptions. Developed by the National Federation of the Blind and the American Printing House for the Blind, BRF files represent braille pages in ASCII text, making them readable by braille displays and embossers. This format supports both contracted and uncontracted braille, facilitating accessibility for visually impaired users. BRF files are essential for converting printed text into a format usable by braille notetakers and refreshable braille displays.
