Dear Beth one quick way of check your Braille is accurate is to switch the speech on and press space with dots three and six in unison. This will tell you what the current character is. Space with dots two and five will tell you what the word is.
I have started using this in regards to that cacky dot 4 in my Braille display, which still hasn't come good after cleaning and exercising the display. Since I don't know what else to do, I have found that this at least makes sure I know what is actually there, particuly in regards to numbers. Anyway, sorry for wandering off the beaten track. Good luck with it.
