Thus I suggested that PDI should keep a list of these weaknesses so that in time they may be rectified; I'm sure Duxbury would welcome this assistence. : Yes, of course, once one has discovered a mis-translation, one can precede the word with a letter-sign, if one remembers in time. Incidentally, it doesn't appear to correct the mis-translation of alacrossity. However, in my case, I had scanned a book and wished to listen to it, but make any corrections using grade 2 Braille; so the whole book was involved. incidentally, apart from the word alacrity, I note that the word acrylic is also wrongly translated, and I have no doubt, if one researched it, that there are many others. Though perhaps absolute perfection is a dream, striving for it is surely a worthwhile pursuit. : In this case, I know that correction is possible for, apart from my beloved Braillenote, I have available two other Braille input devices; neither have any trouble with the words mentioned; one of them was designed as long ago as the mid 1980s. : Don Cooper. : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote :
