Hi Guys. I have been doing some experiments with Notes and braille, specifically brf files. Hey, guys, Apple never intended for it to be used like this, but Notes will swallow a whole brf file such as o you would get from Web Braille. Notes will do transformation such as making all the text lower case, but it's faster to do that in TextEdit and also to avoid Mail Busy. However, Mail Busy did come out of it on ΓΏ computer. Also, Notes takes the display of the most irritating outhe control characters, the carriage returns and the line feeds. The spaces and the page breaks are displayed, but they are displayed in such a way that it doesn't interfere with where the goes on the idsplay. In other words, what's supposed to be in cell 40 is. If i had known this sooner, I would have tried it two weeks ago when I was using my Mac to read brf files.
Because Web braille files have a margin of cell 38, this reading using this method should better on them. This is because the computer insists on showing a blank line if there is acharacter in cell 40. There won't be a character in cell 40 in a Web braille file. I think the display of control characters is a silent one in notes, and that's why you see a blank line with files that have a 40 cell margin. But for those with cell 38 no what appears to be a blank line should be displayed. I hope all this makes sense. This means yours truly can use an iPad with Notes for my reports because they are much shorter than those brf files. It also means, that, if I wanted to, I could use either a Mac or the iPad to read a brf file with very little conversion.
