Yes, on my Braille display in Word, the British quotation marks look like
apostrophes; however, Braille translators, including Bookshare's converter,
interprets them correctly in BRF files. I don't know about DAISY, because I
always download BRF files.
However, the Braille translator for Bookshare incorrectly translates
dialect, where a letter is dropped. That should be an apostrophe in Braille,
but the translator converts it to an open British quotation mark. I wish
they could fix that!! It started happening when we got the "new website" a
few years ago, and they still haven't fixed it.

Hi all,
Roger, a screen reader identifies the British quotes, or single quotes,
as apostrophes. That's why I call them that.
