Caroline,
Assuming the sighted person has a clear view of the screen, you can turn
on the translated line (ctrl-F8) which appears on a yellow bar on the
bottom of the DBT window, and is a translation of the line that the
cursor is on in the doc.. Be aware that the translation isn't always
dead accurate though.

Subject: [duxuser] Sighted users and 6-key Entry
Hi everyone. I am particularly interested in hearing from sighted users
on this issue. In the class I am currently teaching on the use of DBT,
I have a sighted user who has no prior braille knowledge. I'm wondering
how people with no braille skills handle working in translated braille
documents? are there specific settings that you use to make this
easier? Also, is there anywhere that I could get a list of the print
punctuation and how it translates into braille? For example, a print
Comma when written in the braille file is actually the dot 6. I'm
looking for some sort of quick reference sheet that would help this
individual to know the translated symbols, and maybe even give an idea
of what it would look like on the screen, or at least give the dot
numbers. If any document of this nature exists I'd love to find it!
SMILE!!! Thanks in advance for any help.
Caroline
