Actually, in speech, grade 2 braille reads like the punctuation it is. For
example:
,? is :at brl s.ds l :5 2+ r,d ) spee*4
Translation:
This is what braille sounds like when being read with speech.

Hi Dave,
The contractions and their meanings would have to be programmed into the
software program. Some do this and some don't. Normally, Braille just
looks like garbage on a print monitor, and in speech someone told me it
would probably say graphics and symbols or something like that.
