My mistake. That contraction is dots 235, not 234. On 2026-03-24 5:26 p.m., Keith Rempel wrote:

In grade 2 braille you put dots 234 at the beginning of the word and it expands to "to "
So "{dots234}my" would expand to "to my"
Legacy MBraille reads this out properly upon swipe right. Beta only would say "my" even though "to my" is inserted in the buffer.

Hi Keith,
"Still not getting the first of two words spoken when using multi-word contractions in grade 2."
Can you be more specific? I did not think multi-word contractions existed in UEB braille, but I'm ready to stand corrected.
Best regards, Harri

Hi,
A few discoveries.
UEB: The setting for switching UEB on and off in the settings menu has no effect for me. However:
lang ueb
or
lang en
successfully switches braille tables, even though that change is not reflected on settings screen.
Biggest concern: That bug where MBraille does not read out words as they are written intermittently is still around. Sometimes it hides away for a few minutes and I think it's gone. But it always reappears. At present, it's about a word every 2 or 3 sentences. I swipe right, the word is entered, but not spoken. I have my phone on silent mode, so I do not think it's as simple as the keyboard clicks interrupting voiceover. It occurs to me now to try fully turning the clicks off in settings, to see if that improves things.
Still not getting the first of two words spoken when using multi-word contractions in grade 2.
Thanks for the vibrate on misspelled word feature. That is nice to have.

Hi,
This fixes some reported issues, some actually being small new features. Maybe one more release through Firebase, the moving to test releases directly from Apple and Google. That will then replace the legacy mbraille.
Best regards, Harri

I wrote the below words in MBraille beta, the dropped letters expanded as they should. I believe these are the only ones legal in UEB. The dropped letters, not the words...
