[Perform-Talk] JAWS not Showing Capital Letter Indicator When Rendering German Braille

[Noah Carver]

Hi Shelley,

Have you tried looking through BARD's Braille section? They might have
something. Beyond that, I don't have any suggestions as I'm just starting
to learn German and German Braille myself. The bulk of my exposure to
German Braille has come from pieces with German lyrics transcribed into
Music Braille for my use here at Eastman. If you find anything, I'd love to
know what you've found and where you've found it. Best of luck.

Sincerely,

Noah
