I have had the best luck using Spanish computer braille in ms
word files. I rely on email to hand in work, and the accents and
such show up fine on the teacher's computer. You may want to
move towards a more electronic approach, if the problem is
getting work to teachers. If not, it sounds like the embosser is
interpreting things as English computer braille. I have not
played with it, but you may want to try a different embosser
braille table or look for a setting in your embosser's menus. If
you do switch to Spanish computer braille, let me know as I have
used it exclusively for the last 2 or 3 years and am willing to
help with any problems that come up.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] Spanish Braille
My daughter is learning the Spanish braille code this year. She
is using the numeric code to input the special characters and
that is working fine. My question is that the Spanish Code list
I have (from the Library of Congress "World Braille Usage" book)
says dot 2 for comma, dot 3 for full stop, and a capital sign
dots 4, 6. However, in her Spanish braille textbook and in
materials produced by Duxbury (uncontracted Spanish) it shows
comma as dot 6, period as dots 4, 6. My daughter also uses a U
chord for caps. I'm confused.
Also, is there any way to use the visual display when writing
Spanish and have it translate correctly on screen? Currently we
are still using HyperTerminal -- will it improve with KeyView?
It looks like the only way my daughter can print out a correct
translation is to export it as a Word file and print it from
Word. She cannot get a correct printout when going directly from
the BrailleNote mPower to the embosser. Reason?
