Hi. This is a note to interested users capable of reading german contracted braille. BRLTTY now includes contraction tables for german: * de-vollschrift.ctb only implements the basic syllable-contractions au, ch, eu, ei, ie, sch and st. This is the basic level of contraction you usually start with in early school years. * de-kurzschrift.ctb: This is full contracted german braille with all standardized contractions. Its based on the 1998 standard.
While this is only under development since roughly a week, its now at a point where (if you're lucky) you can read a screenful of text without hitting an error. OTOH, if you choose the right area, you might find a lot of problems, who knows. Thats why I'd like you to give what we have in svn now a try. I have a update pending sent to dave that he will probably commit later today, so maybe wait for that update. If you find problematic words, please send them to me via private mail. The more words you can find that the system obviously does wrong, the better. And if possible, provide context if the word is rare. Basically, whatever we find now, you don't have to stumble across later. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
