For that matter, they always appear as the letter I in print too and you know that they are Roman numerals by context too.

Hi Judy,It would look like Type I and Type II. They are actually translated as the letter I, but we just know they are Roman Numerals because of the context. Write them the way I did, and that is how we would do them. Roman numerals are always translated as letters in Braille.Hope that helps, Sue S. -----Original Message----- From: Judy s.

Apparently there are two kinds of muscle fibers. The technical name for them is "type one" and "type two." However, that is written as t-y-p-e space I, where the I is denoting a roman numeral one, and t-y-p-e space I-I, where the I-I is denoting a roman numeral two. Do roman numerals when used this way within a sentence, not as page numbering or as outline numbers, translate into braille and with a screen reader as roman numerals, or do they translate as the letter "I" and the letters "I-I" instead of as "one" and "two"? If they translate as the letter "i" is there anything any of you do to make it clear that it's supposed to be roman numerals? Thanks! Judy s.
