Well, here's another zinger: I prefer not to use speech at all most of the time, so would this impact the braille output--that is, the speech settings, sucha s punctuation? I wouldn't think so!

Hi Daveed,

Okay let's throw one more monkey rich in to the mix.

The Braille Sense has a punctuation dictionary so you can change the voice output as normally used in screen readers. I guess I will have to play around some when I get the time and see how that affects the display.

Subject: [braille-sense] Acronym Translation


The subway system here in the San Francisco Bay Area is called Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART. At our local East Bay Center for the Blind, we always have problems dealing with that acronym when brailling material about transportation.

If you have two separate options, one for Keyboard Input Grade, and one for Braille Display Output Grade, then you would also need a hot key to stop translation, and another to resume translation, for both options.
