any ASCII value
Braille translation
MB Tutor can translate in either direction, and we use the following conventions to
describe braille translation.
Back translation
-
Braille
Converting Braille that you type on the MB keyboard into
regular text.
Forward translation
-
Print Braille
Converting regular text (from any source) into Braille.
Braille code
-
The Braille code installed in your machine is the appropriate
code for your country. The MB can also contain the Braille
codes for other languages.
Braille exception table
Some of the functionality below - the most advanced - is only available from typed-in
commands.
The MB lets you create exceptions to the braille rules. The exception table allows you to
change the code to suit your needs. For example, you may want to introduce contractions
gradually or make abbreviations. Up to 128 entries are allowed.
The braille exception table is active in both forward and back translation. The commands
and conditions for creating exceptions to the braille rules are as follows;
