Computer braille is the same as 8-dot braille. In computer braille, there is a different dot pattern for each symbol. For letters, uppercase letters have dot 7 added to the letter. Numbers and punctuation are different. Remember, print is not contracted.
One cannot have contracted braille checked if one wishes to use computer braille.
