Find a Path from PDF to BRF
31 October 2023, 3.30-4.30pm (Collaborate)
What are some ways to get from point P (a print document) to point B (a braille file)? We will discuss some of the available paths and how they differ. We will also point out some “shortcuts” that might speed up the process of going from PDF to BRF. Lastly, we will practice using the braille transcription software Duxbury Braille Translator. If you can, please have Duxbury Braille Translator open and ready for you to use in this session.
