  That's a strange request, along the lines of wanting to know what your mp3s spell if you just converted the encoded data into whatever characters the drama happens to encode.

  Ah, well, your original comment was a little unclear there, so apologies for the confusion. Unfortunately most of the characters won’t map onto any Latin letter. Typical English Braille only uses the top 6 dots - but as a display character, this program uses all 8 dots. I’m not even sure which Braille dialects use all eight dots. As another commenter hinted at, it’s a bit strange to ask what the semantic meaning of graphical display characters are - a bit like reading out the characters in a binary file which happen to correspond to ASCII values. (Like, what might happen if you open a binary file in a text editor).

    > I’m not even sure which Braille dialects use all eight dots. I'm aware of two dialects, Gardner-Salinas [1] and Kantenji [2]. And they are different in to which direction 6-dot brailles are extended.
