Jeff,
People would use 8-dot braille if they want to use computer braile. I've
heard some people say they like it for certain things though I can't
remember what.
Also, on some note takers, you need to use computer braille to input
special symbols, like the at sign and period in email addresses;
slashes, back slashes, and captial letters in URLs; accented characters
in foreign words and phrases; and math signs. This is true even if you
are outputting in literary or six-dot braille.
Ciao
