Hi.

While most of you can use imagemagick directly to produce braille
renderings of images these days, here is another way of using this
functionality: http://img2brl.delysid.org

This web service lets you translate images by uploading, or providing an
URL.  It offers post-processing options like trim and resize.  All of
this is available with "convert" from ImageMagick from the command-line.
But if you want a UI to this, you can use http://img2brl.delysid.org
with lynx or your favourite web browser.  If you are using it on the
console, remember to configure a unicode braille font for your console,
or BRLTTY will not be able to decode the unicode braille output from
this web service.

There is an API for producing parseable output in JSON.  You can also
strip off all meta-data and receive a plain unicode braille image, with
the option mode=text.
See https://github.com/mlang/img2brl#api
