The .BRF file extension is a specialized format that utilizes Braille coding to represent text. Developed by HumanWare, the BRF file type is the recommended format to be used in any BrailleNote devices. This file type is optimally read by the KeySoft software, although it may be rendered in other programs such as JAWS and ScreenReader. It was created to encode alphanumeric characters and punctuation identity for those with braille-vision impairments.
Formatting Specifications
A .BRF file stores documents in 6 separate lines to alternatively represent 40 characters. It considers each letter and punctuation mark as a single unit of text, apart from words themselves. For easier navigation, each line omits indicators such as 'capital sign', 'paragraph sign', and other notations. To break long sentences and paragraphs, this file format divides them into several lines of content.
Related File Formats
The .BRF file type has multiple related formats that utilize similar technology and encoding for different results. The following are some of the related formats: .BRM, .BRO, .RTF, .TXT, and .BPN. All of these serve an individual purpose, making them compatible with professional and educational programs.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BRF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BRF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BRF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BRF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BRF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BRF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BRF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BRF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BRF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BRF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
