Hi folks, I can confirm this. This occurs with signs such as asterisks (dots 3-5, 3-5). Cheers, Joseph

I typed this message in contracted braille two, and most of the contractions did not convert to a readable format. Al, anyone listening to this message or reading it with their fingers will find that the contractions have become new words. In example using the y for you, at the beginning of the sentence, the y becomes "ally" because of the dot six in front of it. The word after using the letters af sounds like aft, al for also becomes al and the th sign for this becomes th. Something is not translating correctly. I always spell check my messages and make sure that all words are spelled correctly. When I proof-read here, everything looks and sounds exactly as I wrote it, but after transmitting the recipient gets a very badly translated copy. With translations like these, I'll be back to typing in braille one, which is slow and awkward and should never be necessary with a BrailleNote. Al, these terrible translations will make it very difficult for me to submit my school work to my professor. C anything be done about this?
