Hi Beth, When reading a contracted-braille book or file, i.e., one that was formatted for what used to be called Grade II Braille: using a braille display, one switches the display from Grade 2 into Grade 1 Braille. Otherwise, the braille would appear in Grade 2 and Computer braille combined. The braille Display in Grade 2 mode is fine for ordinary documents that were not translated and copied into braille. I hope this makes sense. My descriptions may not be cechnically correct, but they are there about. (We are talking English-language braille display users, btw.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "beth" <fb-oe@xxxxxxx> To: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 2:49 AM Subject: [guispeak] John Covici's post re Web-Braille Getting away from the question for the library and to one I would be interested in researching for personal use later: Hi, all. John, you stated that, since you now have a Braille display, you do not use a back translation program, right? Okay, does the book appear in Grade 2 or in computer Braille on the display? Thanks.
