Hi, everyone.

 

I hope this isn't considered too off topic, but I am thinking it should be
ok since many of us use Braille for amateur radio applications, as well as
other personal and professional purposes.

 

I have been reading occasional e-mails on the Jaws list about the new UEB
(Unified English Braille) system that has been adopted by the World Braille
Organization.

 

Can someone tell me how UEB will differ from the standard Grade II. Braille
we have been using for so many years?

 

When is the transition supposed to occur.

 

Finally, does anyone know if Braille translation software programs like
Duxbury will support this new format, and when or if the old format will be
phased out?

 

Is there a web site where I can learn more about UEB?

 

I'm hoping that any info provided on this list benefits more than just me.
