Do you encounter print assignments that contain extra space, around punctuation, and wonder, how many blank cells should be added when transcribing into Braille? Remember, “What is shown in print, should be reproduced in Braille.” True, that is, in most cases. It is time to refer to the rules. This week’s dose is a double-hitter, 2 rules to learn for referencing: Weekly Dose of Braille: Only One Blank Cell Spacing Have a fantastic week! – Denise Bean, Youth Services Librarian
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.
