Gene #10452 I don't know what is different about grade 2 Braille files. I thought they were text files because my recollection from using the Braille 'n Speak is that when typing with the translator on, they are just text files. Evidently, there are some sort of differences I don't know about.

They do not present well in notepad if this is the case.

I'f like to read them on the pc as well, but I have no idea whether there are any programmes that would open those files, without converting the mto txt with Wintrans, for example. Does such software exist? Thanks, ciao, Ollie
