what if you turn on contracted braille and turn off 8 dot braille? it sounds
like someone doesn't know how to transcribe.

Turning eight-dot braille off is not an option. This is a .abt file, I think
because at the end it has all the printing format. At any rate, if i turn off
eight-dot braille it reverts to not being translated into braille; it looks
like what you hear when you try to read the file in text edit.
