I do just fine with a braille display but of course, if you type in grade 2,
I have to turn off translation with a touch of a button on my braille
display.

Hello Steve and listers,
The Blazie folks cracked that nut years ago with their line of superb
Braille-aware devices. Why this technology has yet to be included in screen
readers is beyond me. However this feature is available in the K1000 so
there's hope for this matter.

Alan,
I can't comment on the appearance of braille dots in an Email message, but
I can tell you that the only way to read braille as it is rendered by
translation software is to use a braille display. For a screen reader to
render braille into intelligible speech, you would have to send the
material through a reverse translator to turn it back into text.
