Not that I know of if you are reading a brf file with Jaws rather than on a braille display.
Brf files are going to open as plain text, which will be computer braille and I think if you tried to set up a special dictionary, you would end up with a mess since dots 2,3 will be the number 2, but if you redefine that as b e or if in the middle of a word, bb, you would not be able to read regular numbers, etc. Richard, USA “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” – Jane Wagner, from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.

I'm questioning if there is a separate dictionary for braille or does a rule or a batch file need to be set up if needed?

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?

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.

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? Peter T. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
