Hi,

You can use SimBraille to enter braille directly in a word processor
document simply by using North American ASCII braille which is the same as
the single-cell assignments in US Computer Braille Code.  If you want to
know which braille cell goes with which keystroke, type all of the keys on
your keyboard except for the capital letters in a print font, copy and paste
that, and change the font on the copied line to SimBraille.  (This is for
sighted users.  Braille users with refreshable braille displays probably
already know computer braille.)

If you know Nemeth you will find it easy to remember many of the keystrokes
including the digits and plus and minus.  In some cases, such as the print
question mark representing dots-1456, you will find that the print symbol
resembles the braille cell in appearance.

Best wishes,
Susan J.
