As a braille transcriber or proofreader decisions are made before transcribing, we sound it out, then make a choice of how the work should be translated. Most importantly, how should contractions be applied or should they? This was one of my favorite questions. — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Unknown Pronunciation
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.
