Ada compliant shop drawings

Hello I’m looking for a program that will automatically make ada complaint shop drawings for me. I don’t know all the regulations as far as spacing between braille and copy and such.

Is there a program where I can just add an excel file and it will make the drawings for me?

Thanks

I do not know of an auto fill program but I know there is an extension/ app for apple products that will translate your text into braille.

Please keep in mind that there are several different types of braille and you'll need to find out which one your client expects.

Here is a braille translator on mathisfun.com (which doesn't work for the braille I need but could work for you maybe).

Source: My primary job responsibility is printing braille, however, I do not do much in the file creation step (I set up layers and rips but I do not edit fonts or kerning or insert images ect)

US Access Board Sign Compliance might help?

I see I'm pretty late to this thread. I'm actively developing an easy web app just for this. You create the design, they are checked live against current Braille code, live grade 2 Braille, batch processing. I made it AI accessible so it can help you as you work. Did you find something that worked for you already? I'm very interested in learning what you started using. I'm looking to solve whatever issues you're having now in the Braille sign world - mapping, message schedules, production files, install tracking, etc. I want to solve the full workflow.
