Sorry but UEB won't solve this issue. It only applies to English speaking
countries so the Europeans will keep their braille codes.

wasn't taking their sweet time on the transition. Hopefully the UK
will be onboard sometime soon as well.

Hi Chris
I have this app and never use it because I find the order of having
to
write in cumbersome.
That said, there are actually various braille standards around the
world
and some of the symbols this app uses are correct for those
standards. For
example, 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
available
in 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
idea
which 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.

OK, I was all? most! convinced to buy this app after hearing
David's
review on AppleVis. Before I go any further, let me just say
that I'm
referring 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 in
grade 2, as well as in computer braille? OK, this leads me to
the next
point.
2. Dots 4 6 is a capital letter? I thought 4 6 was a period in
computer
braille, 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 in
computer braille, or a period in grade 2 or a dd sign if in the
middle of
a 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 that
still 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
follow
correct 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. If
it is, and someone can explain to me why such strange ways of
writing
some a those characters, then? I might! key word, might! consider
buying
it, 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, I
dono, but I'd rather it be done correctly, ya know?
Thank you kindly,
