I really appreciate this question from last week, especially when Braille Translation software is utilized. Translation software will sometimes translate incorrectly, and a braille transcriber’s role is key for ensuring rules are followed for the braille reader.
“I am really having trouble knowing what to use, whether to use directional or nondirectional quotation marks, help?”
Great question! Have a fantastic week and thank you for all you do!

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.
