Anna, I can say that I agree with you here. Contractions are a Godsend. I do think that they can become problematic when tought to early, though. Anyway, I'll shut up about that, as it's not exactly relevant to iOS devices, and straying more into the topic of Braille in general. :)
I was quite disappointed to hear about the problems with turning off automatic braille translation. I would've thought that it would be a smoother experience. I really am not a fan of the automatic braille translation. I wish there implementation of Braille would work more like it does in blindness-specific notetakers. Hopefully with enough feedback, Apple will fix things. Thanks, Ari On Sep 20, 2013, at 1:27 PM, Woody Anna Dresner <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I agree with Jonathan's post.
