NimPro
Product Description:
NimPro is a standalone program that acts as a bridge between NIMAS files and braille translation software products. It imports NIMAS files, allows for numerous improvements to the text, and then exports the files correctly marked up for immediate use with MegaDots or Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT).
Main Features:
- Exports to Microsoft Word documents with BANA Styles (Braille-ready styles) included as an interim format to present to Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) or MegaDots.
- Contains automated "wizards" to convert text styles into styles that facilitate correct Braille, applied only to the user's selections.
- Contains style editing commands to allow format changes to individual text elements.
- Has several ways of handling images. One approach is to render images from the original text into tactile graphics using QuickTac, available free from Duxbury Systems. Another approach is to replace graphic images from the original text with either text or direct Braille.
- Lets users divide the document into manageable segments for Braille production.
- Converts all unrecognized text styles into styles understood by DBT and MegaDots.
- Offers control to adjust multiple heading levels to match the needs of Braille output.
- Has controls to adjust automatic list numbering, bold face, and italics.
- Has automatic addition of guide dots on tables of contents.
- Has automatic conversion of the complex mark-up of tables into the correct format for DBT, MegaDots, or MS Word. This includes handling of lists and multiple paragraphs within tables and complexities such as tables nested inside other tables.
- Offers control over the output of page number references.
- Displays sidebars with a gray background to distinguish them quickly from the main text.
- Offers a separate window to display the original document with the complete XML mark-up for user reference.
