New GuidelinesThis workshop is based on the Braille Formats Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2011Guidelines are available at http://www.brailleauthority.org/formats/2011manual-web/index.html

Nemeth application of Braille Formats 2011 guidelines are available at

http://www.brailleauthority.org/nemethupdates2012Slide3

IntroductionThe new Braille Format supersedes all prior publications and updates of Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to Braille Transcription

.

EBAE, Foreign Language Guidelines for Braille Transcription,

and the

Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics

are being revised to include the adopted changes in braille symbols and new formats. Where there are conflicts between these publications and the new

Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2011,

follow Braille Formats

.

It is expected that these guidelines will be applied unless a situation is not covered.

The new guidelines allow transcribers to make decisions when confronted with material not specifically addressed within

the

code.Slide4

Basic Principles and General FormatsUse the appendices as a quick reference guide.Clarity supersedes space savingConsistency must be maintained throughout

Follow Print (

wysiwyg

)

Review the Special Symbols and Transcriber’s Notes summaries found in the fundamentals section of each guideline.

Slide5

Major ChangesBraille Page Numbering. A distinction is made between transcriber inserted pages and print pages, which allows us to retain front matter print page order.

Headings.

A new heading level accommodates the need for additional distinction in today’s textbooks.

Nested Lists.

All multilevel lists are formatted the same and the principles apply for all situations.

Footnotes.

Most footnotes are now at the end of the print page. This enables the flow of thought to be preserved. There is a new generic footnote indicator which will be used with all types of footnotes.

Slide6

Mathematical and Non-Alphabetic Signs and SymbolsEntire section of old Braille Formats was removedSigns of MeasurementSigns of Enclosures

Mathematical Signs

Currency Signs

Non-Alphabetic Signs

Arrows and Arrowheads

Since the

New Formats

does not

cover how to handle these symbols consult the

EBAE

formats and

its

related

2007 update.

Revised Appendix G and the

future EBAE

updates will deal with how to handle the symbols.

Check the

BANA site for updates.Slide7

All Nemeth symbols must be listed on the Special Symbols page or in TN before the text.

Note:

Entire volume done in Nemeth doesn’t require listing of Nemeth symbols on the Special Symbols page

Transcriber’s note

Before affected text for infrequent occurrences

On the TN page when repeated 2 or more times in a volumeSlide8

Nemeth Example

When you know the principal amount, the rate and the time. The amount of interest can be calculated by using the formula:

I =

Prt

We have 4500 to invest with a rate of 9.5% for a 6 year period of time.

I = 4500 X .095 X 6

I = 2565

Foreign MaterialForeign language words or phrases within an English language paragraph are contracted as though they are English. Use the dot 4 accent indicator for accented letters.Font attributes no longer determine whether or not the foreign language is contracted.

Letter sign is used before any single letter or letter combination that could be mistaken for an English contraction or short-form word

Foreign Language rules are used for entire passages in a Foreign Language.

Braille uncontracted

Use the appropriate foreign language symbols for accented letters

No letter indicatorSlide10

Punctuation in a position not normally seen in English context requires the use of the foreign language punctuation indicator. Insert ; (56), before the unusual punctuation in English context. The foreign language punctuation indicator is listed on the Special Symbols page, or included in a transcriber’s note before the text. Slide11

Transcriber’s NotesIf a special format or usage occurs more than once in a volume, include it on the Transcriber's Notes page.Electronic addresses in this volume are transcribed according to the

Computer Braille Code, 2000, 2010 Updates.

No contractions are used. See list of Computer Braille Code symbols on special symbols page.

Remember that the CBC statement for numbers being brailled in lower cells goes on the Special Symbols page following the CBC symbols

Any wording not shown in the print text inserted by the transcriber is treated as a transcriber's note.

Any changes from print to braille that the guidelines do not explicitly state that a TN is not required,

must

be explained in a TN.

Embedded Transcriber's Notes. An embedded transcriber's note is seven words or fewer and may be shown within the text or standing alone, e.g., used as a heading.Slide12

Embedded TN Examples Slide13

TN Format ChangesHeadings, captions, and other descriptive terms added to the text are enclosed in a TNEmbedded TN is placed immediately following the affected textTN of 8 words or more is brailled in a 7/5 format before the affected text.

No blank lines are used unless required by other formats Slide14

TN Format ExamplesSlide15

TN Format Changes (cont.)Identifications of two or more abbreviations or symbols are listed in 1-3, preceded and followed by a blank line. The closing transcriber’s note indicator follows the last item. Slide16

HeadingsCentered HeadingMain TopicCentered on pageBlank lines before and after

Exceptions

No blank line between Centered Heading and Top Box Line

No blank line in Table of Contents when an entry follows

No blank lines before or after alphabetic divisions

Centered Title and Author

No guideline stating that they are treated as a series of centered headings.

These headings are separated by a blank line as Example 4-2 shows.

Slide17

Cell-5 HeadingCell-5 HeadingFollows a Centered HeadingCan be followed by an equally important Cell-5 heading

Blank line before

No blank line after unless the heading is followed by column materialSlide18

Headings (cont.)Cell-7 HeadingBlank line beforeNo blank line after unless the heading is followed by column material

Cannot be followed by any heading including its own

Devise an Icon when it is not clearly described by the heading or it is referred to in the text

When a series of headings fills an entire page the last heading must be kept with 1 line of text on the next page.Slide19

Font AttributesRetain all font attributes that add meaning to the text and/or may be referenced by the teacher, another reader, or elsewhere in the book or corresponding workbook/handbook When can font attributes be omitted

When they are not directly referred to in the text and/or they are for decorative purposes.

When the format used distinguishes it from regular text

See sections 5.3 and 5.4 for specific examplesSlide20

_. (456, 46) Single bold indicator _.. (456, 46, 46) Double bold indicator

._.

(46, 456, 46) Single bold italic indicator

._..

(46, 456, 46, 46) Double bold italic indicator

Boldface IndicatorsSlide21

Use individual indicators for one to three words with the same attribute Use the appropriate beginning and ending indicators for four or more words with the same attribute Slide22

_- Single underline indicator _7 Double underline indicator $

Shape indicator (followed by one or two unspaced letters) for words enclosed in shapes, e.g., circles, boxes, etc.

Color indicator is

_

(456) followed by an unspaced letter such as b for blue.

Highlight indicator is

_

(456) followed by an unspaced letter such as y for yellow to indicate the color of highlighting, followed by an unspaced h for highlighting

All are closed by the termination sign

Place a blank space after opening symbol

Place a blank space before the termination sign

The opening indicator must be on the same line as the first word

The termination sign must be on the same line as the last word

Note: Place the termination indicator after the ending punctuation when the colored text ends a sentence. If the emphasized text is inside of quotation marks or signs of enclosures place the symbols outside of the entire expression.

Underlining, Shapes, Color Indicators, and HighlightsSlide23

ExamplesSlide24

Illustrative MaterialIllustrations that have Copyright or Source information but no captions or additional information that require there inclusion are omitted.When an illustration has a caption, copyright information, and a transcribers description the order of presentation is as follows:

Caption

Copyright

Description (Transcriber’s Note)

Agency decision to omit illustrations

Agency decides if the photo credits at back of book are omitted

Agency decides if the listing of photo credits in a table of contents is omitted

Transcriber’s note is required explaining omission of illustrations and table of contents entrySlide25

Boxed MaterialBoxing lines are listed on the Special Symbols page.Format to use:77

(2356, 2356) Open box line

Colored boxes are brailled using the colored font attribute followed by a blank space and the box line. 

Color font attribute symbol is listed on the special symbols page with font attributes.

Format is explained on the Transcriber’s Notes page

Blank line requirements for the top and bottom box lines take precedence over the Attribution, Cross Reference, and Incidental Note blank line requirements.  Slide26

Displayed MaterialCell 3 is used as the adjusted left margin for most displayed material. To accommodate various print formats, it may be necessary to change this left margin for some types of displayed material.The adjusted left margin for displayed text in exercise material is cell 5, with indented paragraphs in 7/5 format.

Transcription of displayed material needs to maintain the difference shown in print between the regular text and the displayed text. Slide27
Slide28

Displayed Material ChangesHorizontal word lists across the print page must fit on a single braille line, with each word separated by two blank cells. Word lists that do not fit on a single braille line are changed to columns, listing the words from left to right. Word lists with phrases are listed vertically. Slide29

Exercise Material Do not change the wording for directions or exercise materialFollow print format for instructions without specific question/answer activities. Exercise without sub entries is in 1/3

Exercise with sub entries is done using indented list format.

Two levels: 1-5, 3-5

Three levels: 1-7, 3-7, 5-7

Four levels: 1-9, 3-9, 5-9, 7-9 Etc.Slide30

Example Problem in ExercisesRetain emphasis for labels identifying examples, models, samples of questions with answers, etc., when the label is not followed by punctuation. Do not retain emphasis for labels identifying examples, models, samples of questions with answers, etc., when the label

is followed by punctuation.

A blank line is required before and after exercise examples.

The format of exercise examples is the same as the format of the questions/answers that follow.

When a label is followed by a numbered item on the same line, move the numbered item to the next line so all numbered items begin in the same cell. Keep the label in cell 1.

When a label is followed by a pair of sentences, both sentences begin in cell 1. Slide31
Slide32

Tables and Related DataWhen brailling a table label with the title (e.g., Table 1: Summary Data) do not braille the table number on one line and the title on the next line if they can fit on one braille line.

The cont. table heading for sequentially numbered tables that span more than one braille page is now used for all wide table formats?

When a sequentially numbered table is longer than one braille page the continued heading is not placed on the first page of the table, but must appear on line 25 of all subsequent pages.

The facing table format for a wide table cannot be used for tables that would require more than one set of facing pages.Slide33

SidebarsDefinition: Publishing term for information placed adjacent to text. A sidebar is detached from the main text and found in a section either off to one side, above or below the text. Sidebars may or may not be linked, or related to the text.

Insert a sidebar before a paragraph if it is necessary for the understanding of the following text

Insert a sidebar after a paragraph when it adds supportive information

Insert a sidebar before a new section on the page or at the end of the print page when it provides extraneous information

Sidebars utilize the full width of the braille page.

The text layout of the sidebar dictates the format used, i.e., headings (centered, cell-5, cell-7), 3-1 paragraph, nested list, poetry, etc.

Insert a blank line before and after a sidebar when not enclosed in boxing linesSlide34
Slide35

PlaysSingle Identification for Multiple CharactersInclude the identification with the first character.Follow print punctuation used with other character names. Insert a colon when no punctuation is used.

Use a ditto symbol

"1

(5, 2) for the remaining character identifications in the group.

The ditto symbol is included on the Special Symbols page, or in a transcriber's note before the text.Slide36

CartoonsCartoons are formatted as a play.It is often useful to insert a brief scene setting describing the cartoon and the characters before beginning the cartoon. Include this in a transcriber's note, starting on the line after the cartoon and title information

A blank line is inserted to separate scene settings from dialogue

Dialogue is in 1-3

Frames use a 5/5 stage direction format

If necessary, a brief description of the action in the frame is enclosed in transcriber's note symbols following the character's name and colon. This description is not limited to seven words Slide37
Slide38

NotesAn agency can decide to place all of the notes in a separate volume. When done the volumes should have distinct headings. Volume 3Notes to Volume 3Slide39

SpellersRoot words Root words are brailled with contractions and font attributes using foreign language guidelines.Ignore font attributes used with word parts, e.g., prefixes and suffixes, and identified

root words

,

when they are under study.Slide40

Alphabetic ReferencesGuide words are brailled for all alphabetic references.Agency can decide if they are to be omitted for indexes.Slide41

BibliographiesThe three dashes symbol must be listed on the special symbols page.
