Computer braille is a code of braille designed to accommodate symbols like
backslash, greater-than, less-than, the at sign and other signs which don't
have a Grade II braille translation. An email address or an URL for a web
site will only appear correct when they are written in computer braille and
they won't sound right when you listen with speech unless they are written
in computer braille.

Subject: [Braillenote] Computer braille
Good evening everyone,
I am really going to show my ignorance with this question but oh well. I
have spent the last couple of years learning braille and am now fairly
competant though not very quick with grade 2. My question is this. What
exactly does the BN mean by "computer braille"? I do understand the
various symbols used in reference to computer terms and the internet. I
don't really understand what it means to enter things in computer braille
though. Since I use a QT keyboard, I know this isn't something I am
really affected by but I just would like to understand it. Thanks to
anyone who would care to explain this to me. You are welcom to e-mail me
privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sincerely,
Nikki B.
