If a letter is followed by a period or a parenthesis, the BrailleNote
leaves out the letter sign. Then, when you translate it back to text, it
translates that letter as a word, such as c. as can. If the letter is
capitalized, then it translates it correctly as the letter, but letters
aren't always capitalized.

The BrailleNote uses Duxbury Braille translation software to translate
from text to Braille and vice versa. Duxbury always translates according
to the BANA rules or the BAUK rules. If the rules don't require a letter
sign, then Duxbury won't put one in. Generally, translating from text to
Braille has less errors than translating from Braille to text.
Duxbury does so well translating from text to Braille I'm surprised you
would believe some letter signs are missing. What example can you give to
illustrate that Duxbury leaves out letter signs when translating from text
to Braille?

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. It's as though the
BrailleNote doesn't recognize it's own language. If it requires a letter
sign to make it a letter, shouldn't the BrailleNote put that letter sign
when it translates?
Also, does anyone remember the Braille Translation Table from an
earlier version of keysoft? I think, if it still existed, that might
have been a way to fix the problem.

Hi, Nicole:
One of the best ways I've found, especially if you are converting
Braille to Text, especially when writing a letter is to put the letter
sign, then a capital, and the letter. You shouldn't have any
mistranslation issues that way. The text to Braille translation can be
tricky, because a B can equal but, if it's not written correctly. In a
text, I make sure my letter is capitalized, followed by a period. It is
really interesting.

I have noticed that when the BrailleNote translates from text to
grade 2,
it leaves certain things, such as letter signs, out in certain. Then,
when
you go to translate it back into text, it doesn't come out right. Some
examples are:
Leaving the letter sign out causes a letter to become a word.
The BrailleNote thinks a minus is com.
The BrailleNote interprets letter sign s as ness.
