Also, I forgot to mention that when editing say an rtf file on a Braille
display, putting a dot four in front of a letter is probably not going to
create an acute letter in the rtf file. I could be wrong about this, but
you probably have to put in some keyboard combination, either on the Braille
display itself, if it is something like a Braille Lite or a Pac Mate, or a
keyboard combination on a regular computer keyboard that corresponds to the
ASCII (ANSI?) code for the correct symbol. When I hit dot four on my Pac
Mate, it says 'grave', pronounced 'grov', so maybe putting that in front of
a letter will put in the appropriate symbol in the rtf file. But others
such as dieresis, and circumflex, among others require keyboard combos.
Of course, if it were a brf file, and you put a dot four in front of a
letter, then back-translated it, I imagine that would work; but that's not
the most likely scenario for editing books on Bookshare. Still, a list of
these Braille codes would be handy, as well as one for making them on a
regular desktop keyboard. I suppose they are alt-number type things?
Is there anything else you'll can do for me? <grin> Stay tuned.
Dear braille readers,
All my life I've read braille but slipped over accents. Now I need to know the code for letters with different accents. By comparing my braille book with print, I concluded the acute was dot four before a letter. When I found a dot four before the letter e in another word, it was an e umlaut in print, but from the braille I'd have assumed it was an e acute. I'll be needing the circumflex, too and maybe some others. Does anyone know these braille symbols or a site where I can look them up on the net?
For clarification I'm talking about English braille. I would probably recognize the braille accents in French, from my junior and senior high school days forever ago, but these aren't the same as the symbols used in French language.
Never ending questions...curiously anticipating the answer.
Thanks,

Why Lissi, I would never even think of doing anything like that. Besides none of my submissions ever have scannos.
The last time I checked Terror Twon was still waiting to be picked up. I bet it would have gone if I had mistyped a t for the n. Jim

You're funny, Jim. Did you write c-o-r-r-e-d-t to see if, "We Validators," were paying attention? d is a common scanno for c-t. This validator just caught it. Correct?
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi list,
last night I submitted Terror Town by Stuart M. Kaminsky. Being half asleep, as usual, I reversed the ow in town, so it reads Terror Twon. This is the first mistake I've made since 2004, and I'm sure the more awake validators will corredt it.
