Product Description: 

MozBraille is an extension to transform Mozilla or Firefox to a stand-alone accessible Internet browser designed for blind or partially sighted users. No need for a third party program like a screenreader. MozBraille offers its users three displays or outputs :

  • A Braille output on a braille terminal
  • A text to speech output
  • A big characters view

MozBraille is a part of the VICKIE project. The main goal of this project is to create an electronic school bag for visually impaired children. The main output is Braille; the less important is text to speech because students are encouraged to listen to their teacher.

Main Features: 

  • Supports Microsoft SAPI 5 text to speech library. So you can use almost all speech engines under Windows. For more information on SAPI click here.
  • Supports libbraille library to drive Braille terminals. So MozBraille supports over 30 Braille displays such as Alva, BrailleLite, brailleNote, Eurobraille, handytech, once, vario.
  • Displays simple XHTML pages without a table.
  • Has a fake XUL Braille terminal for developers who don't have a terminal.
  • Users can configure how XUL or HTML elements are displayed on the three views.
  • Manages the caret movements and selection on the Braille view.
