    Jan,

    If it is all presented as one word, I think I would single cap each S as follows: [braille],S,S,S,SPY. That would clearly show the braille reader that you are dealing with an abbreviation (13.2 Instruction Manual). What do you think?

    We decided to follow 13.2a
    Capitalization in abbreviations. The double capital indicator is used only where two or more capital letters in an abbreviation follow one another with no intervening periods.
    So we did
    double cap SSS single cap Spy
    Thanks.

    Jan,

    I believe either way is correct. When I asked two separate braille users which one they would prefer reading, I was told the single capped letters and that is why I presented it that way. Both are former print users. 🙂
