When I took spanish in high school, it was in grade 1. The complication with using grade 2 is that the ch and the accented letters take up some of the grade 2 symbols. I have never heard of it being done before. I would say the punctuation is the same, but do not really remember. Terry Powers

Honestly, I am not sure as to whether contracted Spanish Braille is used very much, at least, I have never seen it used in my Spanish textbooks, but that is a separate matter which probably would best be left alone on this list to avoid getting off-topic. I am not an expert on the topic but the only difference I have seen between Spanish computer Braille, and regular grade 1 Spanish uncontracted Braille are the punctuation marks. My bottom line is that I have never experienced the need for contracted Spanish Braille, and although it would be nice if one day the BrailleNote could support regular uncontracted Grade 1 Spanish, this limitation has not posed a major problem for me. I'm sure there are people on this list who know more about this topic than I do, so please feel free to correct me if necessary. Hope this helps.
