[nobe-l] perky duck

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Hello,
I am taking Hadley's Transitioning to Unified English Braille 
course.  My instructor told me that I could use Perky Duck to 
complete my assignments.  However, I am having issues getting it 
to work correctly.  When I type in contracted Braille in Perky 
Duck, everything is coming out as computer Braille symbols.  For 
example, when I entered my city name, I got m dollar sign 9 a 
when using contracted Braille.  I did not want to submit that 
assignment since it did not look right to me on my Braille 
display.  JAWS does not read text when in Perky Duck, so the only 
feedback I get is from the Braille display.  I send this 
assignment in hardcopy Braille, but I would like to be able to 
submit electronically.  Therefore, has anyone who uses Perky Duck 
run into this problem with contracted Braille not displaying 
correctly on a Braille display? If so, how do I solve this issue?
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
