issues encountered when using perky Duck (braille software) with NVDA

Steps to reproduce:

1. launch nvda and launch perky Duck 2. create a new document. 3 press the keys required for the numeric indicator in braille. along with a number exammple press dots 3 4 5 6 for the numeric indicator

then press dots 1 and 2 which means 2 in braille press dots 1 and 2 at the same time. the number that should be read out should be 2 this does not happen create a new line type a sentince with a capitel letter, which is dot 6 so dot 6 then your sentance e.g dot6 i like cheese then full stop to write the full stop charictor press dots 2, 5 and 6. nvda does not read the correct punctuation. no special settings are used, the version of perky Duck is up-to-date.

Actual behavior:

nvda does not read grade2 contracted braille as written in perky Duck software e.g does not recognize numbers (does not recognize the numeric indicator) does not recognize character whilst typing on perky Duck

Expected behavior:

nvda should read g2 braille it should read a sentence after it's been typed it should recognize braille numbers and other braille symbols

@mhussaincov: Please fill out the Str section (any special settings?) and add the version of Perky Duck where this issue occurs. The newest one should be 1.2.0.3 (or so) which was released on July 9, 2018. CC: @leonardder and @dkager

I just started using Perky Duck for a course from the Hadley Institute for the Blind, and this is definitely still an issue. I've actually been trying to figure out how to fix this for the last hour or so, thinking maybe I had something set up incorrectly. Luckily, I finally did a web search and found this issue. I'm using Perky Duck 12.3, which is the latest version, on Windows 10 Pro Insider version 1903 (OS Build 18932.1000) with NVDA version alpha-17928,9dfbd2ee.

I just did a little more work with Perky Duck, and I believe that what's happening is that when punctuation, contractions, or other symbols are typed, NVDA is reading them as if they were written in computer braille, so dot 2 is read as a 1, dot 6 is read as a comma, dots 2,5,6 is read as a 4, etc.

cc: @Andre9642, @leonardder I think this is yet another braille translation issue? Or maybe NVDA does not recognize the braille symbols with speech at all?
