Keying long entries can sometimes be a decision making process. A table can be overwhelming when rows and/or columns contain a lot of print text. Deciding how to properly format for the braille reader will often times begin with correct key entries.
Thank you for all the hard work braille transcribers and proofreaders do each day, remember, you make such a difference! — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Keying Long Entries and use of Shortform
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.
