Thanks John
I'll certainly give it a go. I'd not thought to connect my Braille Edge to
the Iphone.
So, okay, this might be an easier way of accessing the app, but doesn't
address my desire to keep a dictionary on the Braille Edge, but I will try
Steve's suggestions. I don't want to turn my Braille Edge into displaying
grade 1 only as I also use it for my Creative Writing Classes and having
everything in Grade 1 would be a pain.
But certainly the lessons themselves using the Braille Edge is a good idea.
Thanks.
Alison

Hi Alison
I think I have a solution for you. I am using Duolingo to learn french and I
connect my brailliant to my phone while I'm learning.
Not only does this make selecting words much quicker in my opinion, but it
allows you to read everything that's on the screen at your leisure thus
allowing you to understand how words are spelled easily.
For me, I don't think I'd have stuck at it for what is now over 150 days if
I didn't have the Brailliant to make life easier.
Hope this helps, John

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
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?
