Thanks for the suggestions, Steve. I don't know but I'll certainly check
them out.

Hi Alison,
Doesn't it have a single command for changing between contracted and
uncontracted Braille? Usually it is Space and G.
Also, you could turn on Cursor Expansion, this is where it expands only the
word under the cursor to uncontracted Braille.
All the best
Steve

For some time I have dabbled with learning German but have recently
discovered the Duo Lingo App on my iPhone which has re-ignited my
enthusiasm, but I have a problem and am looking for some suggestions.
The app does have some self-voicing capability but as you swipe through, it
is Daniel who gives his version of German words, so it is a bit like
learning two languages, the proper German and his version of the word.
So, I thought, I'd use my Braille Edge Notetaker to keep a dictionary where
I could write the new words down and see the words in braille rather than
jut hearing them, as would be the case if |I used Jaws.
The trouble is that my BrailleEdge , which I also use for my creative
writing classes, is set to display grade two and every time I write the
letters AR, for example, it turns them into an ar sign.
I could of course change the settings on my Braille Edge to grade 1, but
then that would be a real pain for my writing classes.
Any ideas?
Alison
