Free Automatic Braille Conversion

From http://www.axistive.com/18746/robobraille-eases-web-use.html: Read about a "site [that] now processes 400 requests a day-a free service that provides automatic Braille conversion is proving popular despite still being in test phase."

According to the article: "Anyone wanting to use the service, which is partly funded by the EU, can send plain text, rich text, html or Word documents by e-mail. Within a few minutes they receive their document either as an MP3 audio file or as electronic Braille. Electronic Braille can be read by a tactile display - a device connected to the computer with a series of pins that are raised or lowered to represent the Braille characters - or sent to a Braille printer."
