Headings and Blank Lines
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.
With 2026 just around the corner, I’ve loved seeing all your questions rolling in. Please keep asking! Your curiosity often sparks answers that can benefit other transcribers. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! I’m a huge fan of cheat sheets; there’s something about them (just like a fresh to-do list) that makes you feel immediately organized. Enjoy today’s Q&A!
“What I love about being a braille transcriber, rules are rules, no gray area. For some reason blank lines and headings can be little confusing, can you make a blank line cheat sheet?
Enjoy today and thank you for all you do!
