More crotchets about BrailleMy Braille display doesn't have that either, but I do not know why yours would, Jill. Sorry we can't give some help here.

Unfortunately, not being a geek, and having one who fixes everything in the geeky arena for me, I don't know what it is. I'm sorry I'm no help, and just tempting you with hopeful news. I'll ask and see if Jon can remember what he might have changed to make the difference in my display. Don't hold your breath though. We both have notoreously holey memories.

I assumed this had been a change in the braille translation program Bookshare is using. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mayrie ReNae To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 12:01 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: More crotchets about Braille Hi Kim, I really do think that your seeing the dots 4-5-6 before a slash is due to a setting in your braille device, not bookshare's processing of books. I say this because I now see what you see, but didn't until we adjusted some setting or other in my screen reader's configuration for my braille display. I just never bothered to ask to have it changed back. Maybe you could look into the settings on your BrailleNote?

I hate that sign before the slash, so if there was any way to get rid of that I would be very happy indeed. Also for the word cup, I see no need for a capital sign (dot 6) before the letter C . just make sure there is a period after the letter.
