Sometimes just to put our hands onto an example of the correct wording can be very helpful. Last week a great question was asked about how much information should be included on the Transcriber’s Note page. Please, remember, the Transcriber’s Note page is your voice that communicates a message to the teacher or student that will simplify the print being transcribed. If you make a change in the print, you will need to make note of that change. Most importantly, be consistent.

The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our Braille Transcriber, Denise Bean, with the help of our Instructional Materials team. It gives you a taste of braille examples that may be used in worksheets or textbook formatting. This insightful Weekly Dose of Braille brings your attention to the common use of Unified English Braille and how to implement these rules and formats used by braille transcribers and proofreaders. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question, but are neatly put into a Weekly Dose of Braille for your easy access. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience.
