When to Retain Emphasis
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.
Last week, we highlighted reasons not to show print emphasis. This week, it’s only fitting that we take a closer look at when emphasis is retained, along with a few other helpful reminders. Several examples are used in this week’s dose from section 5 of the Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2016.
Enjoy your week of summer!
Denise
