Dear Terry,
Yes, I well know what it is to translate them from the sign to the
word. Have done it multitudinous times.
Wish the BN would support these common Bible reading signs.
Dear Penny,
You would have to do a search and replace. These signs won't
backtranslate from braille to text, either.

Dear Terry,
Thanks for your comments. I guess there's no help for me,
then. But of course, I can read the signs in braille; or translate
them out of a document before listening to it.
Thanks so much.
Hi,
I used to believe these dot 5 signs were a part of UK braille, but I found
out from someone on the Duxusers list that they aren't in the UK system.
All of these dot 5 signs are in the grade 3 braille code.
In order to get the BN to pronounce these dot 5 signs correctly, the
pronunciation dictionary would need to be changed to allow punctuation. If
you wanted to use grade 3 braille as the default translation instead of
grade 2, a table would have to be created for that code.
Presently, neither the full version of Duxbury nor the limited version in
the BN supports grade 3 braille.
You can turn off speech and read the symbols in braille.
