To be specific, computer braille is 8-dot. 0 braille is a 6-dot equivalent to cover when 8-dot braille is not available. In the case of the old Braille 'n Speak, 0 braille was utilised to cover the lack of dots 7 and 8. If one actually looked at the ASCII, one would quickly discern that u-chord

Computer braille is the same as 8-dot braille. In computer braille, there is a different dot pattern for each symbol. For letters, uppercase letters have dot 7 added to the letter. Numbers and punctuation are different. Remember, print is not contracted. One cannot have contracted braille check

Yes, a .brf file must be translated into contracted or uncontracted Braille. Giving an .mp3 extension to a text file will not make the file an .mp3 file. Braille translation software must be used in order to create Braille files! You can have an off day, but you can't have a day off! ---The Ar
