Weekly Dose of Braille
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.
Transcribing tables can sometimes lead to a lot of questioning, especially around formatting. As transcribers we are given incredible resources that are invaluable to becoming a detailed Braille Transcriber and proofreader. Section 11 is a great place to dial in the details of formatting a print table. This week’s Dose stems from a question asking about a large informational table and how to transcribe into one braille page, or what the next steps will be by going to the next braille page.
Enjoy your week, the next dose will cover additional details of formatting table into braille.
