I was in a similar situation a few days ago. I attempted to send an email from my Braille Note. I also sent myself a carbon copy of the message.
After sending the message, I viewed the carbon copy on my Pc. A colon, in computer braille, was translated as "wh", and A computer braille period was, if I remember correctly, replaced with "dd". The text in the body of the message was inserted from a text document, which I edited on my BN. Why did this happen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicole Torcolini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 11:39 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] translation > It is interesting because you can't even open a text document, ask to > review the options and tell it to translate it, edit in grade 2, and then > tell it to not translate it when it saves.
