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.
Hope your week went well and was smooth sailing. Excited about this week’s question. It may be a bit of review, but reviewing the rules is always a good idea.
“Working on a short Graphic Novel, not really sure how to transcribe a few of the words, it has a lot of slang or extended long words with a lot of hyphens between the letter groups or letters, how do I handle this correctly?”
