About this translator

DotShift applies common Grade 2 (contracted) English braille rules — whole-word signs (e.g. but, can, the), part-word groups (e.g. -ing, -ed, ch, sh), and capitalization and number indicators. It is intended as a learning and preview tool, not a certified transcription service.
