Convert To Braille
Braille alphabet was designed for the blind people to be able to read
with their fingers. The original specification was created with a
combination of dots for each of the characters in the English alphabet
and the numbers. This was called Grade I Braille. Subsequently, the
specification was revised and is called Grade II Braille. One way to
think of the newer specification is like a short hand version of the
original specification. Many of the commonly occurring combination of
letters were assigned different combination of dots (some of the simple
examples are ‘ing’, ‘en’, ‘the’, ‘ch’, ‘sh’, ‘and’, etc.).
The Convert To Braille command will simply convert standard English
phrases and words to comply with Grade II Braille specification.
Instead using another third party software, the user can complete the
conversion right within the MaxMotion software. An exception
dictionary is provided for the words that do not fall into standard rules
of the conversion.
