ScottSorry but UEB won't solve this issue. It only applies to English speaking countries so the Europeans will keep their braille codes.Lisette On 5/01/2013, at 2:15 PM, Scott Davert <scottslistm...@gmail.com> wrote:And this, folks, is a prime example of why we need UEB. I wish Bana wasn't taking their sweet time on the transition. Hopefully the UK will be onboard sometime soon as well.

Forexample, in many European countries the capital sign is dots 46 and the period is dot 3. I wonder if this app was designed with them in mind? As far as I know though, semicolon is dots 23 in American or English braille. I think question mark might be the th sign. It's not an app designed for English grade Two use which is why I never use it. I don't know about the brackets sorry.If I were you, I'd hold off until the braille touch app becomes availablein the app store this month. www.brailletouchapp.com is the website I believe.Type in braille is, like many of these braille apps, an interesting ideawhich doesn't really work in practice. Just my opinion. I haven't read the review but would probably disagree with it from the sound of what you say.

Before I go any further, let me just say that I'mreferring to the TypeInBraille I O S app. So again, this is for I O S,not for O S X. I then heard a few things which really! were deal breakers. I'm just wonderring if someone can answer a few questions, and maybe help me understand the logic of a few things. First, the logic side of it:1. dot 3 is a period? Huh? I thought that a period would be dots 2, 5,6 in grade 2 braille, or in computer braille, would be dots 4 6. So then, how do you make an apostrophy which normally is! dot 3, both ingrade 2, as well as in computer braille? OK, this leads me to the nextpoint.2. Dots 4 6 is a capital letter? I thought 4 6 was a period in computerbraille, and in grade 2, if written by itself was the bold face indicator. 3. Slash is a low d? 2, 4, 5? I thought that was the number 4 incomputer braille, or a period in grade 2 or a dd sign if in the middle ofa word, or d i s sign at the beginning of a word.4. Semicolon is dots 2 3? Wut? I thought 2 3 was a bb sign in grade 2,or in computer braille was the number 2. 5. Dot 5 is an at simmble? I thought that was dot 4. More specifically, I always learned it as dot 4 A. Now for my questions. 1. Can we not type in grade 2 and have it translate? 2. How do I type an exclaimation mark?3. If dot 5 is the at simble, then how do I do my quote marks? Is thatstill low h to start, and low j to end like in grade 2? 4. How do I do a question mark? 5. Are my left and right parenthesis still written with the o f sign, and the with sign or do I do that more like grade 2, with low g both ways, etc.I dono... There are just enough things here that do not seem to followcorrect braille standard from what I can see, that I really am not totally sure until I understand why they couldn't have incorporated correct braille characterization that make this a major! major major!deal breaker for me. Plus, I'd like to know if grade 2's an option. Ifit is, and someone can explain to me why such strange ways of writingsome a those characters, then? I might! key word, might! consider buyingit, but I need some clarification first. I'm not trying to complain,believe me. It's just that when I've been tought correct braille, it's very confusing trying to change to another form which may as wel almost be it's own seperet braille table in itself. Maybe I'm just too picky, Idono, but I'd rather it be done correctly, ya know? Thank you kindly, Christopher-Mark Gilland.
