Hi,
You can get demos of both Megadots and the Duxbury translator that give
you an idea of how each works.  To some extent, both demos cover up some
of their features, but you get the documentation on disk and you can get
a feel for the user interface.  One of the strongest features of
Megadots is its ability to convert documents from many different word
processors directly into formatted and translated braille, but the
conversion module cannot be included in their demo.  Duxbury's demo
inserts the letter "D" randomly throughout a document and one must keep
this in mind when using their demo.  Duxbury has a web site from which
you can download their demo.
Good luck.
