Hi Ari, No, I'm afraid you can't simply type Grade 2, and have it automatically back-translate to normal text.

Hi George, So it's not a keyboard where I can just open Microsoft Word and type in grade 2 braille? Or can I, and then must I use a braille translator to make the braille characters readable by a sighted person? How is the Portset one? There's one, the Braillin from Papenmeier, can you believe it's $700!
