Do you ever wonder the reason why certain contractions work better? Or if a contraction was used, would the text be read as a word instead of an acronym. Remember, to be careful as to “what and how” text is transcribed, these transcribing decisions can really make a difference on how it would be read in braille. — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Which Contraction Works Best
For more information and to see past Weekly Dose of Braille topics check out our Weekly Dose of Braille Page.
The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our Youth Services Librarian and 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. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience.
