This paper outlines current work in Britain on Braille translation by computer. It goes on to explore possible programming methods, highlighting problems and suggesting solutions. It finishes by examining the feasibility of an international index of Braille software, suggesting a possible implementation.Before I begin, may I say first, how pleased and privileged I feel to be here today - my pleasure will be all th e greater if this conference achieves something really positive; and second, how grateful I am to Professor Werner for inviting me - I hope he will feel that my presence is worthwhile.So much has been written already about Braille translation by computer that I feel doubtful about how much that is original there is for me to add. However, in this paper, I shall begin by outlining the work proceeding in the United Kingdom; I shall go on to suggest some programming techniques worth investigating when implementing Braille translation systems; and finally I shall talk about the possibility of the international pooling of Braille translation programs and of information about them.
