Salut,

Merci beaucoup. I appreciate your offer.

However I actually just found an app that I think will really help me. It’s 
called Braille Translator (on the Mac, not iPhone). You can type something in 
French (or several other languages) and it’ll translate it into braille. It 
supports French unified grade 2.

So I’m typing in words and phrases that I know and seeing how it translates 
into braille. I’m shocked how many contractions there are.

Hello Brandon, 
Maybe I can help you because I'm a french braille user. Sadly, I never heard 
about specific apps to lurn french braille as english.
In french we have contraction for small word (le, la, de,...), for word

What would you appreciate that I send you?

Re: French Braille on IOS?

2020-12-28 Thread Traci Duncan 
Hi, I've been doing some Googling. One resource you may want to search is 
AppleVis. I found one thread talking about learning French braille.

Here's another link that talks about iOs braille learning apps. Not sure if it 
deals with other languages.
https://www.teachingvisuallyimpaired.com/braille-apps.html

Here is another resource of several braille codes, however I'm not seeing 
French contractions.
https://www.pharmabraille.com/braille-codes/france-braille-code/

NFB has a lot of resources on this following link. Note, some of it may be 
outdated.
https://www.nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/fr/fr28/fr2/fr280207.htm

:) This was a fun little research project. For my own personal interest, I may 
cary on looking. I'm learning German and Italian, it hadn't occurred to me that 
there may be braille contractions in those languages.

My last suggestion, is to look on Bard's braille downloads. Maybe there is 
something there.

Good luck,
Traci

French Braille on IOS?

2020-12-28 Thread Brandon A. Olivares 
Hi,

So I’m learning French, and so as such I’m trying to learn French braille as 
well.

I found a reference for the accented characters, but I notice that there are 
also contractions. Like when I type L by itself, it translates it to “le” (the 
French word for “the”). I noticed quite a few others as well.

However I can’t seem to find a reference for this. Can anyone point me to an 
extensive reference on French braille contractions that work on IOS?

Thanks,
Brandon
