Not completely correct: you are accurate in that by default, contracted braille is the default translation, but you can set things so as to input and output in uncontracted Braille. Or - as I do - input in uncontracted and see output in contracted. Braille on an Apple device for me is

I've been doing a lot of reading up on this, it appears the future of Windows is a universal platform that can run any app written in any programming language. So, in theory, it won't matter what device or platform you're using. With slight modifications, the same universal app could run on

I don't think you said anything about braille. Braille has always been important to me, and I wonder if the mainstream phones and computers would support it if the braille notetakers/displays were no longer around. Only blind people who read and write braille exclusively can understand this.
