RoboBraille - translating text into Braille

Thanks to Dave Pickersgill for showing me RoboBraille which "automates the translation of text documents into Braille and speech". By sending documents to RoboBraille by email you can, with a time lag of a few hours:

• translate them into contracted Braille, speech, or visual Braille;
• convert them between different character sets;
• convert Braille documents to specific Braille character sets;
• partition them into smaller parts.

Here, for example, is the RoboBraille-generated speech file - [180 kB MP3] of this posting.
