Duxbury Systems, Inc.

Duxbury Systems, Inc. has specialized for more than forty-five years in the niche field of braille production, offering a single, tightly-focused application that converts mainstream electronic documents into properly formatted braille or tactile graphics. DBT (Duxbury Braille Translator) ingests files from Word, HTML, LaTeX, PDF, EPUB, and other common sources, applies user-selected braille codes for more than 180 languages and dozens of national conventions, and outputs either embossed pages or refreshable-braille files. Typical users include school districts preparing classroom materials for visually impaired students, university disability-services offices converting textbooks, publishers creating accessible editions, transcribers serving public libraries, and assistive-technology professionals who must meet Section 508 or WCAG accessibility mandates. The program embeds a mathematics engine that handles Nemeth and UEB technical notation, chemistry formulas, and music braille, while a built-in word processor allows last-minute edits without leaving the application. Batch mode and scripting interfaces let large agencies automate high-volume monthly production, yet the same interface is simple enough for occasional volunteers in community braille centers. Because braille standards evolve, Duxbury maintains frequent updates that add new tables, refine formatting rules, and support the latest screen-reader and embosser drivers. DBT is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the newest release, and can be queued alongside other accessibility utilities for unattended batch setup.
