Directions: Transcribe into braille the following sentences. Transcriptions are to be prepared using a brailler emulation program (Mac/PCBrailler, Duxbury,
Edgar, Megadots, etc.). Files must be submitted electronically. No hardcopy braille will be accepted.
Files done with brailler emulation programs (Mac/PCBrailler, Duxbury,
Edgar, Megadots, etc.) should be emailed as text files to Feedback Form (we are no longer accepting submissions)
Make sure you put your name in electronic braille as a part of the file
itself. Please do not send files titled "braille" or "session7".
If you are sending your work as an email attachment, you should name your
files as something unique, such as the first six (6) characters of your
email address, and then the characters "S7", followed by the three letter
code (.dxb, .acn, etc.) that your braille software produces. For example,
Duxbury files sent by rbroadnax@shodor.org would be titled "broadnaxS7.dxb",
where ".dxb" is the three letter code Duxbury uses for its files. The limit
on the part of the file before the dot is eight (8).
Format:
The exercises are designed for a 40-cell braille line with 25 lines per page. If you must work with something other than a 40-cell braille line, a note should be included as part of your file telling the instructor the number of cells across you are using.
The first line of the first page should carry a centered heading, such as Session 3, Session 4, and so on. The heading should be followed by a blank line. Consecutive page numbers should be shown at the right margin on the first line of each page.
Each sentence, that is, each sentence number, should begin in cell 3 with sentence runovers in cell 1. No blank lines should be left between sentences.
The maximum number of spaces on a braille line should be utilized. Therefore, wherever there is room on a line for one or more syllables and a hyphen, even on the last line of a braille page, as many syllables should be written on that line as space will permit.
At the end of the exercise leave one blank line and braille your full name.
