A couple other options include using UEB (not adviseable since it can be
tedious to switch codes) or Spanish computer braille. Once you know that code,
it isn't hard to use, but it only works in text files, not braille ones. Also,
it does take some getting used to, but all the Spanish accents and punctuation
are there. The main catch is that you'd have to use 8-dot mode to get all the
advantages, which takes yet more getting used to. Trying the dot 4 before a
letter in grade 2 might be your best bet, but there are a few more
possibilities for you to ponder. Good luck on the test.
