I have just posted a new app called Braille Quiz
Test your knowledge of different types of Grade II Braille contractions, as well as punctuation marks, the Braille alphabet itself, and computer Braille. You can also choose a button which will let you review the 11 basic rules for using the Grade II Braille contractions. The help text for the app follows: Press Control-Alt-Shift-B to test your Grade 2 Braille skills. When the dialog comes up, you can choose the type of contractions, and the number of items to be tested. You can choose to have the name of each Grade 2 contraction spoken, or spoken and spelled. You can also test your knowledge of braille punctuation marks, as well as the dot numbers for each letter of the alphabet. There is also a separate button to let you view the simplified rules for using the grade 2 signs and contractions. You can use the arrows to scroll through these rules. When entering data, you can enter letters, the apostrophe, and numbers for any Grade 2 signs that are needed. You can also enter numbers when being tested on the braille alphabet. All numbers must be in order. For example, to enter the contraction for although, which is a l th sign, you would need to enter the letter a, the letter l, and the numbers of the dots for th which is 1456. The numbers must always be entered in order from 1 to 6. Enter rr to repeat the entry or qq to quit. I hope you enjoy Braille Quiz.
