Session 2 Evaluation:
Reading Braille
Directions: Translate the following braille page into English. These are randomly chosen words without capitalization or punctuation. Send your translation via email.
What we have done here is to put one word on a line. Each letter is represented by its number patter, written without spaces. A space is inserted between each letter. For example, the combination 12 135 12 represents the uncapitalized word "bob".
We're anxious to know if there is a better way of doing this, so please comment freely.
