Digital inclusion starts with the document - our software makes content accessible. People with disabilities are at the hart of what we do - as users of our software and as the intended audience of the publications it generates. Benefit from our expertise in accessible documents, Braille, and digital audio books.

Products
RTFC is a software suite for Windows that lets you transform your documents in no time into files for various media such as the Internet, online help, large print, Braille, and audio books. From one and the same document, you get a variety of formats for people with different reading requirements at the touch of a button. RTFC recognizes chapter structures and makes your documents navigable through automatic hyperlinks. RTFC takes accessibility into account - without barriers for authors - so that your content reaches everyone!

Our Braille Software Development Kit (SDK) is used by assistive device manufacturers around the world to add our technology to Braille displays and note-taking devices.
The RTFC Braille Translator is also available in the Apple App Store. It illustrates in a simple way what manufacturers and users can expect from our Braille module.

RTFC Translator enables simultaneous translation from text to Braille and vice versa. In this way, we make our high-quality back translation available for contracted Braille input on your mobile device. Enter text in Braille using a Braille keyboard and share it as a note, e-mail or with other apps. With the text to braille conversion, you get braille and can share the resulting dot patterns as Unicode Braille.

Contracted Braille as a cultural technique of the blind creates a break in communication between the sighted and the blind.
