Computer & Literary Braille (Grades 1 & 2)

---

SuperNova supports two methods for displaying Braille, namely Computer Braille and Literary Braille.

Computer Braille Code

Computer Braille strictly uses one Braille cell per character, whatever that character is. It is of most use in applications where every character is of importance, such as in computer programming, and you need to distinguish each possible character. Dolphin offer more than 20 different computer Braille codes as listed below:

• Arabic
• Belgian
• Croatian
• Czech
• Danish
• Dutch
• Euro
• Finnish
• French
• Greek with and without Accents
• Hebrew
