Hi Orhan,

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to do this for Turkish, as I have done something similar for Czech, which also contains a number of non-standard characters. For more information on how to assign the dot and key combinations to the non-standard unicode characters, read the "Extended Characters" Topics in the BrailleNote manual. If you follow the instructions, you shouldn't cause any damage to your existing Braille tables, as once you have changed the key or dot combination assigned to a particular character, a new Braille table is created automatically. It will be listed as "Custom USA" or "Custom UK", depending on which computer Braille table you were using when you changed the dot or key assignment.

I've been using my Czech Braille table for a few years now and it works fine, but I have a few warnings:

1. The last time I tried to print a document in Czech directly from the BrailleNote, the non-standard Czech characters did not print correctly. This may have been rectified by now, but I wouldn't bet on it. :-) If I create a document in Czech on the BrailleNote and transfer it to the computer, or send it as an e-mail attachment, it displays and prints perfectly.

2. If I'm using Keyweb, Czech web pages don't always display the extended characters correctly on the BN. I suspect that this has something to do with the way in which the BrailleNote handles (or fails to handle) the encoding of the web page, but I don't know much about that and I'm just speculating.

3. I've never tried to send an e-mail in Czech from the BN, but I doubt whether it would work properly, as I don't think you can change the encoding within Keymail. I may be quite wrong about that, though.

4. If I've scanned a document in Czech on the computer and I want to read it on the BN, I have to be very careful about how I save it, otherwise the extended characters are not preserved on the BN, even though they look fine on the computer.

I'm using an mPower BT32 build 27, but my Braille table was originally created on a BT Classic. I'm afraid I know nothing about Turkish, but I hope this will be of some help. I'm sending it to the list in case it's of interest to anyone else. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me privately.

All the best,
Nicky

hello list, recently memory seems to say to me that i 'could' create a non-standard braille table.

is this possible? i need to get the turkish dot combinations on my BN for my exam. just computer braille will do, with some accents. also, i want it to show the charicters on the display.

i could probably make one, i'm not asking instructions just wonderring if it is possible so i don't waste time trying to figure out something. on the braillenote.
