Spaces Used as Separators
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.
Working on a project for a high school student, the example shows space only, no punctuation in a phone number, should I just ignore the print and combine all the numbers?
While the answers can generally be found by diving deeper into the Rules of English Braille, your question is actually a fantastic teaching tool. It perfectly highlights the best approaches used by braille transcribers.
Have a fantastic week!
