Subject: [GWN] a few "newbie" questions
Hi all,
I am not really a newbie to braille, but am "late-blind" and have been
utheing braille for only 3 years. I am proficient in reading contracted
braille and writing it, and also some computer braille, but since I only
use it to do email, web, read books, and write documents for myself, I
know little about 8-dot braille and computer braille. So please be patient
with this old lady. SMILE
First, I see that the Braille Sense Plus (and original) has an 8-dot
braille mode. Is that just to read it, but not type using it?
Secondly, 'in what cases would you need to use 8-dot braille? I have heard
for some foreign languages, but what else? Formatting documents? Nemeth
codae?
Thirdly, this is about using computer braille. Is there a way to use grade
2 braille with marks around it to make it computer braille? or anything
like that? I don't know if that makes sense, so for example, instead of
having to switch to ASCII and type an email address, is there a way to do
it in grade 2 and get the "at" sign in it AND make it "clickable" for
desktop computer users, and the same with web addresses (I hope one day
we can click on links and such in email on our Br and Voice Senses!)? Or
do you just have to change ! Ascii? I just notiace that sometimes when I
go to AASCII and then back to grade 2 that some characters change !
numbers and I have to correct it.
And lastly, this is about the web browser on the Braille Sense Plus. I
found an option for "user mode" with the options of Windows CE, Windows
XP, and, I think the third one was pocket PC . What is it for?
Thanks,
