Terri,
Good to see you on this list.
I've had my voice snese for just over a year and love it.
I also have the sycbraille with the combo case.
Have a blessed day,

Hi,
I'm back on the list because I may be in the market for a new notetaker.
To answer the question of why some words use the be sign and others don't,
the be sign is a prefix syllable in word which have more than one
syllable. So, words like begun, behave, begrudge, benevolent, besmirch use
the b e sign but words like beer, best, been, bean, etc have only one
syllable so the b e sign can't be used.

Hi, short answer is, because that's the way it is and one has to follow
the rules set forth by the Braille Authority. Since Duxbury does this and
since the Sense notetakers use Duxbury for the translation, this is why.
To answer specifically your number 2 question, it is not appropriate to
use the word enough via the en-sign when it ends a sentence because you
then have dropped e followed by dropped a or dropped d and this is just
not correct grade II translation. So what you need to do is spell the
word enough as en-sign, ou-sign, gh-sign period or comma.
Hope this helps.

1. Can any of you grade 2 pundits explain why words like best, better,
beep, and beer do not use the lower b contraction at the beginning of
the word but words like begin, bemuse, and besot do use the lower b
contraction?
2. When I use a comma OR PERIOD after the en contraction (dots 26), the
VS does not say the word “enough” but just says en. Does anyone know
why?
Thank you,
Steve
