Hi out there to all you experienced braille transcribers. I'm developing a braille transcription course. As I was talking to a transcriber this morning about a "tricky" part of a novel I thought it might be a really good idea to have a resource file of excerpts from novels/handouts/excerpts from textbooks that might be a little tricky to transcribe into braille that makes sense to the reader. If you have something you can send me, please either email me the reference (what textbook the information comes from) and either send by email the pdf version of the page, if you don't work at RIDBC and want to contribute to the file. However, if you are a colleague or studying at Renwick please send hard-copy document in internal mail with a reference attached and also send me an email explaining the example and giving me the reference information so I can keep it for my own records, but also will have some real-life problems/examples to refer transcribers to as they will be learning how to transcribe a book into braille, so real-life examples would certainly help.
Any teachers are also welcome to contribute to my resource folder. The more we learn together the more students will be able to participate in school activities on a more equal footing with their sighted piers.
Happy brailling!
Nicola
