Hi everyone, I am taking a course in my braille class entitled Other Codes of Braille which covers computer braille, foreign languages which covers Spanish and French, music Braille, Nemeth Braille, and an Introduction to Braille Formats for textbook. I am working on assignment 3 of this course and I am stuck in the first sentence. When I read it with synthetic speech with JAWS, I have a hard time understanding the strange characters that are showing in Microsoft Word. I am using Perky Duck to write my assignment with my Braille Lite 40. I am using the Foreign Language book from National Braille Association as my reference tool as well as the English Braille American Edition 1994 revised 2002 as another reference. Does anyone know of any way to understand the language in reading it in computer Braille? An example of the sentence is like this: 1. ¿Donde estan los señores Cortés y Suárez? There are four words that I cannot make out. The fourth word in this sentence I cannot identify the letter very well with speech. When I read it in Braille, it looks like the letter n to me. Can anyone make any sense? Any suggestions? Other examples are as follows: 2. Honi soit que mal y pense. 3. Je suis le president de la companie Golden Enterprises Inc. 4. «¡Viva la revolución!» gritó el grupo estudiantíl. 5. A l'âge de quatorze ans, il renonça à son heritage. 6. Él fue con sus amigos al Grand Canyon. Use a dictionary and/or the manual to look up the definition of the following words. Submit the work in an email: 7. Diphthong 8. Triphthong 9. Digraph 10. Diacritics I look forward to everyone's responses to these problems. By the way, I am using JAWS version 5.00.844 as my screen reader with Braille Lite 40 braille display.
