Braille Word Ending Contractions

There are a lot of fancy names for the different types of contractions. And lots of specific rules for their use in writing. There are many braille differences from print. For instance, capital letters have to be signified by an extra symbol.


This document is designed to help you recognize and read documents already written by others.


If you intend to write in Braille, please research those writing rules through more indepth programs.


Just writing in a regular font and switching it to a braille font does not always work as intended, except through a braille display or screen reader program. Even then, it may not follow all the rules.

Shortcuts (Contractions) are grouped together.

The Braille alphabet is different from the regular alphabet in that capital letters need an extra symbol, rather than a different shape. Also, there is an indicator for multiple capital letters in a row.
