Words Printed Above a Sentence
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.
Perfect timing, I just received this question a few minutes ago and thought it would help others.
“As a transcriber, this is new to me, the teacher has written words above the sentence, and they appear to be important and related to the lesson. What should I do in this case?”
Actually the answer can be found in Section 18 of Braille Formats 2016. Which is usually where my search begins when wanting to do transcribe formats correctly.
Hope you find today’s Dose helpful for you, if not today, maybe another day! Have a fantastic week and thank you for all you do! Your work is so important!
Denise
