Yes, from what I read it certinly does this, and appears to be very flexible in handling grade2 and even 3 braille and multiple languages.
Certainly there was a time in my life before I'd typed for years that writing with brailler key combinations would have gotten more text on to pages
faster
than a qwerty keyboard.
I mentioned braille devices because I'd also imagined typiing with the intention of keystrokes being directly saved as braille dots, Which I assume this
can also do, although I've not read everything to make sure that can be done.
It would be less than to have to translate from braille 6 dot arrays to letters and symbols only to have to translate back to dots to print out a page
of paper braille...lol.
The excellent point is made how in languages with large alphabets braille can be an efficient way to type the many characters rather than having to use
multiple shift levels.
Again, congrats on what appears to be a very well thought out project.
