Hi Pam, The braille translater, or is it translator, won't handle the fraction symbols. They need to be written as 1/2, and like that. Thanks for asking!

For Braille readers, is the 1 / 2 format better than the symbol 1 over 2 in one individual space (sorry I can't make this symbol in e-mail). Any preference? Thanks for your thoughts, Pam
