Kylie and all, when we upgrade to Keysoft 7.5 will the manual be updated so that we can learn this new UEB code? It sounds very interesting, so if we can learn it from our units then that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard There are actually very few differences between UEBC and previous literary codes. Some contractions have been removed, such as ble, ation, ally, dd, O'clock, and several more I can't remember. The differences lie in the UEBC provides indicators for bold, and a different format for italics. The brackets have changed from lower G to Dot 5 and the Gh sign for open bracket, and dot 5 and the AR sign for closing. The all capps sign has been changed from double dot 6 before every word to be capitalized, to triple dot 6 before the capitalized passage then no capitalization for the rest of the words and an End Capitalisation indicator (can't remember it) at the end of the passage. All format indicators are like this, with a begin format and end format indicator at each end of the passage. Those things originally written in computer or mathematical braille are now written in "literary" braille, so that users don't need to learn multiple codes. I haven't used UEBC on the BrailleNote so don't know anything about that, but would imagine that when you try to enter a defunct braille contraction you will get an error beep. But then again, you might have to read your document with speech to hear what happens to your writing. UEBC has only been recently adopted into Australia and other countries so we are still learning. Only those in braille production or braille teachers really know the intricacies of the code.

If I to into Braille options and choose as my Braille table the Ueb table, when I am writing am I seeing UEB code as it is supposed to appear? I am quite curious about this code, and I would like to understand its differences. Thanks. ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
