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.

G'day all,
I have a technical question which I intend to post across several lists, so my apologies in advance to those of you who have to put up with multi-copies.
Is there an easy way to "embed" Braille into an e-mail so it shows as dots on the received e-mail (other than sending it as an attachment)? If there is it would enable us to avoid the "dot 3, dot 4-5-6-" "en-in-ing-" gibberish we resort to to communicate Braille questions. I did a little test using ascii code, and also copy/paste from a .dxb (Duxbury) file (also ascii) which seemed to work as long as the receiving computer had a Braille font installed. I don't know how well it would work with screen readers/Jaws etc.
Any ideas? Alan.
