| Introduction |
| ============ |
| |
| Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It |
| features support for computer, literary and math braille, supports |
| contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages[1]. |
| It plays an important role in an open source accessibility stack and |
| is used by screenreaders such as NVDA and Orca. A companion project |
| liblouisutdml[2] deals with formatting of braille. |
| |
