When Not To Use Final-Letter Groupsign
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.
To keep transcription work accurate, following the rules isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. Straying from them can quickly lead to poor-quality braille. Today’s Dose is one of those rare scenarios you might not see often, but when it pops up, the rules are your lifeline. And here’s my promise: whenever I need to look up a rule myself, that’s exactly when I share it with you!
With gratitude to all you do for others,
Denise
