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.
It is great to see the detail that pours into a Braille Transcriber’s work. Even the details of punctuation, it is all important!
“It was always suggested to read all the way through a project to be transcribed first, it seems helpful. Yesterday, I read through a project and for some reason, a double dash in print was used quite a bit. What do you recommend? Seems odd.”
Always remember to ask yourself this question. What is the intentions of the print?
Have a wonderful day! Thank you for always giving your profession your very best, your results, providing the gift of accurate readability for our braille reader.
