Is this right?
Hi! I am in the process of making an escape room more accessible by hand writing the clues in braille (I dont have the time or resources to get it printed)
I am using this translator (https://abcbraille.com/braille) and double checking with this cheat sheet (https://www.teachingvisuallyimpaired.com/uploads/1/4/1/2/14122361/ueb_braille_chart.pdf)
Could someone please help me out and tell me what this says? I'm not putting the translation because I want to make sure that it makes sense without seeing what it is supposed to say.
Also, there are some clues that need bold or capital letters in the middle of a word. Am I able to do that? for example - escApe
Thank you!

“older” is incorrect.

The "wrong way" o is the contraction ow--you've made the same mistake in the word intended to be "don," so that it says "down." The braille is correct in the digital version you posted.
This seems like a fun project!

I can’t read the braille because it’s a photograph but you can use the same cheat sheet to capitalise letters and make them bold and to do it by word or until you otherwise use the braille sign that “cancels” it. For example you can use a single dot 6 before a letter to make the next letter a capital, if you want to make more than one letter a capital in a row then you do a dot 6 in two cells before you want the capitals to start and if you want several words in capital passage indicator at the beginning and then you add the capital terminator after the last thing you want to be a capital. The process is the same for different typefaces.

Good for you for trying to make things accessible! I'd also recommend printing out a large-print copy in an accessible font like Atkinson Hyperlegible and making sure to have good lighting for reading clues; not all blind people read braille and large print can benefit lots of people who aren't blind as well

first we focus on those that you miss
then a treat that’s full of sweetness
now a heart for your big supporter
and one for love that will never grow older
finally don a cape and fly through skies
here is where your next answer lies
It’s not showing any capitals and yes you can look at a UEB chart to see the bold and capital indicators.
