Hi Jessica I hope I understand exactly what you are asking, and here's my take on it for what it's worth.
If you are talking about producing braille on your Mac in TextEdit that can be embossed, I think in theory it could be done, although more easily done with a braille display with keyboard input keys. If I were going to do it, I would first figure out a way to tell TextEdit that I had a line length of approximately 40 characters and a page length of 25 lines. Then I would turn off translation with chord-g so the computer wouldn't translate anything I input. If you do it with the computer keyboard, you would have to also set TextEdit the way I suggested and then type on the keyboard the correct keys to correspond with the correct braille symbols, such as the opening parentheses symbol for the of sign, for instance. This would be a lot slower than doing it with the braille display keys, but I guess it could be done. After all, the computer would not translate anything. Oh, yes, if you have a braille display with input keys, make sure to turn on dots 7 and 8 because otherwise I think you will get Gffade 1 and what you really want is computer braille. Remember, turning on dots 7 and 8 with VoiceOver determines whether uncontracted braille shows up as computer braille or Grade 1 and VoiceOver calls both of them uncontracted braille.
