[BlindTlk] Braille Authority of North America Position Statement on Computer Braille

[Steve Jacobson]

Kevin,

If it were only that simple.  Most electronic braille devices, including many braille displays, now include some software as well.  The fact that there is not a one to one correspondence between print and single-cell braille characters because of the limit of dot combinations available means that software and braille standards do become a part of the issue.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

The only thing electronic devices need to function is binary. The 
braille standards have no affect.
