FAQ
Does this support other languages' Braille systems?
No, the current version only supports Grade 1 English Braille (letters, digits, and basic punctuation).
Does this support Grade 2 (contracted) Braille?
No, this only supports Grade 1 (uncontracted) Braille, which spells every character out rather than using word contractions.
How are capital letters represented?
A capital sign (dot 6) is automatically inserted before a capital letter's cell. A number sign (dots 3-4-5-6) is inserted before a run of digits.
