When transcribing the simple, or what appears to be simple, don’t overthink your next steps. This question came from a transcriber working on a worksheet for a language class. “When transcribing a mailing address, part of the address was “US Highway” I was wondering if the letters “US” should be contracted?” Check out this week’s Dose for the answer: Weekly Dose of Braille: US Highway Have a wonderful week, and please know how much your questions are always appreciated! – Denise Bean, Youth Services Librarian

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.
