       Since I couldn't find any decent guides I've decide to learn US English Grade 2 #braille by just switching to that braille table in #NVDA and reading through a random book, pausing to read by letter whenever I get stuck. What a better way to learn how to swim than to just throw yourself in the water?It's pretty exhausting so far. There's characters for certain parts of words like ing, but also characters that represent whole words, like the, of, for, etc. Certain letters, when on their own, stand for whole words (h for have, l for like ...)1/2

       @dhfir Well, in grade 2 braille, they both are.NVDA is my screen reader of choice. Free and open source and all around awesome.Normally you would use a screen reader to read things using text to speech, yes. But it is also the program that sends information to the braille display, if you have one.
