Hello David, There has been for some time 6 dot computer braille. Anyone used the original braille n Speak saw this.
Lower case letters a - j were numbers and abbreviations like the t.h. 1 and 4,5,6, was punctuation such as the question mark and brackets. etc. Before 8 dot braille. I think some people call it grade 0. Regards. Gena > On 14 Sep 2015, at 04:14, David Chittenden <dchitten...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Computer braille is the same as 8-dot braille.
