All capital letters in ASCII correspond to their equivalent values in uncontracted English Braille.
If Braille ASCII is viewed in a word processor, it will look like a jumbled mix of letters, numbers, and punctuation.
[2][3] BRF files can be embossed with a braille embosser or printed, read on a refreshable braille display, or imperfectly back-translated[4] into standard text[5][6] which can then be read by a screen reader or other similar program.
Many find BRF files to be a more convenient way to receive brailled content, and it has increasing use as a distribution format.
[7] If a SimBraille font[8] is downloaded and installed a BRF file can be opened in WordPad, Apache OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, etc., and the Braille will appear correctly rendered as 2 dimensional, non-tactile, visual 6 dot braille characters when the font is set to SimBraille.
The following table shows the arrangement of characters, with the hexadecimal value, corresponding ASCII character, binary notation matching the standard dot order, Braille Unicode glyph, and general meaning (the actual meaning may change depending on context).
