Why is a Braille Transcriber Important?
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.
When others’ curiosity is triggered, leading them to ask questions, it might be time to offer a “dose” of information to address their ongoing questions.
“A very common question asked, why do we need Braille?” Or can we have the software to create the braille, then why do we need Braille Transcribers?” “Can’t students just listen to the lesson?”
This is simple, we need to improve our skills as communicators and create a sense of clarity in understanding the importance of Braille.
Have a wonderful week, thank you for your persistence, hard work and consistency, you are appreciated!
Denise
