Is there a dictionary for braille where that could be changed if the
person wishes to do so?

Peter,
The B cntractions start with ones that use the lower b, dots 2,3 which
in computer braille is the number 2, so because you are using Jaws and
probably a text editor, it is showing you things in computer braille,
so the sign for the letters b e and the double b which are all dots
2,3 is being read as the number 2.
This is why I said the file is designed for reading on a braille display.

*Subject:* , In braille screen input, how to do a triple swipe up &
get the slash
Thanks Richard for passing on the link to the documents of braille
contractions.
I also listened to the mp3 audio recording.
With Jaws, looking at your list of contractions listed alphabetically,
I got as far as the “b”s. the “b” contractions start with the number
2. Maybe a mistake?
Earlier, I got a list of the Command Mode commands.
You can get the app switcher with a double tap of the letter “h”:
Press dot one, dot two and dot five together twice
How (in command mode) to close the highlighted app and move left right
through a number of open apps?
In braille entry, what are the dots for the forward slash character
used in a URL address?

While I was teaching braille for a state rehab agency, I put
together a document or two that gives the contractions, and
punctuation for UEB and spells out the dots used.
I gather you have a braille display, so the BRF files could be
used on it.
There is an MP3 file where I recorded some and a Word document for
braille commands when using an Aple device.
They can be found at:

There is also some fun stuff there.

*Subject:* Is there a braille table with dot configurations for
characters & punctuation
Hello,
Now that I’m starting with the braille screen input feature, I
need a list of characters, punctuation etc with the dots used.
My knowledge of braille goes back 60 years. I only remember the
alphabet and common punctuations. At university I knew grade 3
braille and the Nemeth code. Most of that is now forgotten.
What we now have is Unified English braille.
Is there a table list to help?
How would I use the 8 dot braille?
