Just ensure that your reading grade on the fly is not set to Braille grade I, because then it will read the contracted Braille characters as ascii symbols.

I did the following: 1- "review previous options" I pressed "y" 2- I pressed "t" for text. 3- "extended ASCII character option" I tried the 3 choices ["c" for standard ASCII characters, "i" for ignored and "r" for retained]. 4- "extended character set" I tried also the three choices: ["m" for ms-dos, "a" for ANSI and "i" for the international ms-dos]. I used 3 and 4 interchangeably, still no way to let the BrailleNote read them correctly. What I'm doing wrong? Is there something messing I should do? side note: if I went to the file manager and I translated the BRF files into text I can listen to them. I don't want to go through this tedious way. I would like to listen to the BRF files directly without translating them specially if the book is in 30 files or more than that. I hope I'll be able to listen to book soon. Thanks for any help in advance Dr.KAAK ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Mangis To: Braillenote List Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 7:22 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] listening to grade 2 files The problem may be when opening the file you are asked if you want to review the options. Type y and see if the file is braille or text. I've had that happen when I opened a file and thought it knew it was braille. After I changed the setting it read perfectly.
