His apostrophes loook wrong onn my PC, also. Perhaps he is using dot 4 instead of dot 3 because they look like acute accents followed by question marks. On a qwerty BN, the apostrophe is the key to the right of the semicolon. In braille, the apostrophe is dot 3.

Hi everyone,

Well, I hope some people with Braille Notes will talk to their
libraries about the problems with WebBraille as I think it would
be great if we could have access to it.  I'd only read it using
my Braille Note.

A question about apostrophes.  Why do they look so different on
the Braille Note in Jim's message?


Linda

Hi all,  I donâ?Tt normally log in to web braille, but I tried it
for the first time on my Apex yesterday and couldnâ?Tt log in.  I
just tried again after reading stuff on Thursdayâ?Ts digest and
still couldnâ?Tt do it trying to navigate with the thumb keys.
Next I tried it on an Mpower on which I had done it some months
ago thinking the KS software differences might let the mpower
work.  It did not.  I think the NLS may have to correct the
problem on its end.  Iâ?Tm sure HW will love to hear that.
However, I think HW should also take a close look at this issue
as well.  Regards, Jim
