[NABS-L] braille accents in Spanish

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Sophie,
I don't have a Touch, but  am replying in the that  this might help and that you get more responses soon.

For my Apex in Spanish class, I've had to write the  accents the "wrong" way, by doing dot 4 and the letter you want. So for an a accent, I would do a dot 4 and an a instead of dots 12356. While this isn't the best solution, and might confuse you, it should allow your teachers to be able to recognize your accents.

Is it possible to write Spanish accents in braille on the BrailleNote Touch? I know the accent signs, and I've created a speech profile with a Spanish voice and Spanish braille tables, but the accent signs still come across as the contractions they represent in English. For instance, when I type dots 2-3-4-5-6, it comes out as "with" instead of U acute. Is there a way to remedy this?
