[BlindTlk] For Jesse Computer Braille

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Jen and Jessie,

Unfortunately, Computer braille isn't exactly just uncontracted braille when
it comes to capitalization either.

Some notetakers and displays may ask you to add space and backspace to the
letter you are typing, or you may only need to use the backspace with a
letter to capitalize it, depending on the application and device.

Apostrophe is still dot 3.
Question-mark is dots 1-4-5-6
Comma is dot 6
Semi-colon is dots 5-6.
Colon is dots 1-5-6
Opening and closing quotes is dot 5
At is dot 4 capitalized.
Tilde is just dot 4.

When typing on your display, if you are in grade two braille and need
computer braille to show, begin the computer braille phrase with dots 4-5-6
then dots 3-4-6, don't space then type your phrase and don't space then typ
dots 4-5-6 then dots 1-5-6 ending the phrase.

Judy

Jessie, computer braille is just uncontracted braille. For numbers, you use
Nemeth code (lowered cells.) For instance, Nemeth 4 would be dots 2-5-6
(period), instead of number sign and d.
exclamation point = "the" sign (dots 2-3-4-6)period = dots 4-6open
parentheses = dots 1-2-3-5-6 (of sign)closing parentheses = dots 2-3-4-5-6
(with sign)bracket = dots 1-2-4-5-6 ("e r" sign)brace = dots 2-4-6 ("o w"
sign)equals is the "for" cell (dots 1-2-3-4-5-6)underline = dots 4-5-6 List,
anything I'm missing?
Hope it helps.
