I quite agree with Vicky here. If you're default reading mode is Grade 2 and it sounds perfectly right then it is almost certainly going to translate correctly. I also sometimes proof-read in Braille as well. It really does work folks so give it a go and you'll be so glad.

Although, before sending the message, it's not a bad idea to listen to it with the speech, just to make sure everything does indeed sound okay. For, if it does, then the translation back to computer Braille during the sending process does seem to go okay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Computer Braille as the default Ok this Pam is what I really was aiming at. I was concerned that my writing grade 2 Braille would come out on some sighted person's pc as a bunch of gibberish. That is why I wanted to change over to computer Braille so that Sighted People could read my messages. Ok thanks a whole lot for straightening me out about that.

So I don't understand quite how this works. If you write a message in Grade 2, the MPower translates them before sending them. So if you write in computer braille, how does it keep from translating say exclamation marks as the, etc.? Sorry if this was already discussed as I just got in on the middle of this.
