They are numbered down the left side of the cell, 1,2,3,7 and the right side, 4,5,6,8. Dots 7 and 8 are used in standard braille as the cursor indicator. In computer braille, dot 7 is used for capital letters in place of the dot 6, so a capital letter only takes one cell, so a capital A for example, would be dots 1 and 7. The "at sign" is normally dots 7 and 4 if you have 8 dot braille turned on. Those are just a couple examples. The National Braille Press has a nice little booklet called Computer Braille Made Easy that is very good if you want to truly learn computer braille. Also, there is an app for $0.99 called Braille Reference that has a list of computer braille symbols.

I'm so used to basics sorry I sound ignorant. I know what computer is but what would this setting do. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2012 6:08 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Braille Displays For iPhone Actually, Apple uses a time-sensitive grade II braille buffer which only allows approximately half a second. What this means is, if you hesitate for a half second, the grade II translator converts the buffer and enters the data. If you set braille to 8 dot computer braille, the buffer will deactivate and this translation aspect stops. In other words, if there is no text in the grade II buffer, you can braille as slowly as you wish.
