Forward translation settings
Forward translation means that you can send a regular text to MB Tutor, and it will convert
it to braille with all contractions and other rules as set by the user and emboss it on paper
or store it as a braille file in memory. The text sources can be from a regular PC keyboard,
a wirelessly connected mobile device, or a computer.
- Emboss forward translation toggle
Turns the forward translation to braille on and off
- Basic translation toggle
Once Forward Translation has been turned on (using the above menu option), you
can select a mode called Basic Forward Translation which is
useful for working with very early braille learners and the whole
of class activities. In Basic mode, each word is embossed after
the space key is pressed. This function automatically switches
to uncontracted braille (grade 1). Default = OFF.
Note:
If Forward Basic translation is on, the MB Tutor will ignore "hyphens" and many
other Forward translation commands and settings, including formatting commands and the
Patterns Commands.
- Set forward translation grade
Choose 1 or 2.
- Literal mode toggle

you start a new line in print, you will create a new line in braille.

- Suppress blank lines
Suppresses blank lines and adds a two-cell indent for new paragraphs.
- Automatic indent set
The current Braille column is stored when turned on, and subsequent braille lines
are indented to that column.
