Hi,

There is no official symbol for the per mille sign in UEB. UEB Section 3.26.1 says to use a transcriber-defined symbol. Keep in mind that transcriber-defined symbols are used in braille order, not according to frequency or preference.

Braille on,

Julie

Hi Susan,

I don't know why my request to see the print posted twice....

UEB 4.2.5 refers to not just any grouping indicators when a modifier applies to more than one letter, but specifically to braille grouping indicators. Indicators of any kind do not exist in print. Braille grouping indicators are not interchangeable with existing print parentheses, brackets, or braces. The parentheses on the outside do not tell the reader that the modifiers apply to more than one letter. You need to show both in your transcription, as shown below. (The quotation marks should be dot 5s.) This same message is repeated in the attachment with the correct simbraille dots.

"<T@-<OO>-L@-<OO>Z^.B">

Braille on,

Julie

Hi,

You could either omit them or use the circle shape (dots 1246, 123456), remembering to use the grade 1 mode indicator as needed. Either way, use the appropriate nested list pattern pertaining to exercise material for indentions.

Right again! As long as there is no space between the superscripted numbers, you do not need a grade one indicator after the first one.

FYI, the UEB committee favors the braille grouping indicators approach, though treating each reference number individually is just as valid.

Hi Dan,

You are correct in saying that the superscript indicator would only apply to the first number. You are also correct that this ties in with the concept of an "item." You could treat each superscript number individually, with each number getting its own superscript indicator. Or you could use one set of braille grouping indicators around all the reference numbers at that location, adding grade 1 indicators as needed.

Hi,

This question is better suited for the Computer-Assisted Transcription forum. Please repost there to get the help you need. However, I'm familiar with Braille2000, so if you want to contact me off-list, you may. There are a number of clarifications needed before we can help.

Braille on,

Again, my sincere apologies for making more work for you! Now I know.

Hi Susan,

So sorry for the delay! I was "waiting" for you to post the print, thinking I would be automatically notified. Not so, and I should have manually checked.

This involves formatting, which means Braille Formats trumps UEB. Follow the BF guidelines and samples, brailling the poem twice with the stress and unstressed marks above the second transcription, with a transcriber's note explaining.

Braille on,

Julie

Hi Susan,

Did you mean to send an attachment as well? I need to see the print.

Hi Lynnette,

You may have to use braille grouping indicators when there is more than one digit that is cancelled.

Julie

[Julie Sumwalt]

Hi Lynnette,

Use the "line through previous item" symbol for the cancellation lines. Attached is an example that I hope is helpful.

Braille on,

Julie

Hi,

First, are you transcribing this in UEB or Nemeth? Can you provide the print?

Regards,

Julie

Hi Deborah,

Use the italic symbol indicator for P. because it is an initial. Use the italic word indicator for "aurelia" and "caudatum" because those are words.

Braille on,

Julie
