[NFB-Braille-Discussion] clarifying my original question.

[ken lawrence]

Hi list there seems to be a mixup in my issue with the braille reader.  As mentioned my network password has two stars in it.  Replies to this seem to be telling me that the star is dot 5 and then dots 3 and 5 with no speace. That’s right that’s what I used. I have the reader set with UEB as my profile. I know I have the right symbol because once last week I was troubleshooting a audio issue on my computer and was using the reader for a braille display since I couldn’t hear NVDA and when I signed in I saw the stars on the display. The question is do you have to put some sign in if you are transitioning to special characters the same way you use the 3-4-5-6 sign to indicate numbers and the 5-6 sign to indicate numbers.  The first part of the password is letters, then a number, then the two stars.  When I transition from numbers to that special character do I have to in some way let the reader know, OK, these next characters are symbols namely stars.  As I mentioned APH connect center at least the person I got didn’t know he wasn’t a real active braille reader.  His partner Sharon Hughey is however.  Sharon went to the Oakhill school for the blind like me and she had as I did one of the very best braille instructers of em all named miss calihans.
