When Braille Transcribers transcribe a table, Guide Dots are commonly used: to fill in empty spaces for readability or for horizontal lines shown in print. This week’s Dose is simple and will highlight a few guidances when transcribing print lines.
Thank you for your questions! Have a fantastic week! — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Line Mode and Guide Dot

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.
