What an active day on duxuser!
I thought I would wait for someone wiser than me to deal with this.
From the way you are wording your question, I am guessing that when
braille data gets into DBT, DBT understands the data correctly. Am I right
about this?
As an experiment, can you write a pure grade two braille file on the
Pac-mate, send it to DBT, and get DBT to back translate this into proper text?
Or can you emboss from DBT and get the correct braille?
In a previous message today, I mentioned that the JAWS script files that
come with DBT 10.5/10.6 are huge improvements. One thing they do is
pronounce the ASCII character we recognize as "star" as "c-h-sign". Are you
using DBT 10.5 or 10.6?
Please give us some more information to help you figure this out.
There are some other experiments I might suggest, but these vary by DBT
version, so I will skip that whole area until we get some more information.

Thought you might be able to help these guys.
Also,  I need to talk to you about the computer in the work room.
Thanks, Pam

Fwd: [AERNet] Pacmate and Duxbury: hotsynching and direct entry Nemeth

[AERNet] Pacmate and Duxbury: hotsynching and direct entry Nemeth

A student is doing direct-entry Nemeth code brailling on his personal

Pacmate (w/o refreshable braille display). He wants to upload it to Duxbury

so he can get a braille copy to review and a copy for us to transcribe to

print, as the print copy, to be blunt, sucks like a Hoover.
However, even standard braille characters are not correctly being displayed
in Duxbury when he hot syncs (although most are read correctly with JAWS,
they are displayed in bizarre ways--the "ch" in his name is displayed as
dots 2-5-6 and JAWS reads it as "star").
Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  Need a Hoover?
