How to Apply Braille Formats
• Identify what you are looking at• Find the Guidelines that apply• Adjust your decisions based on clarity• Use guidelines that closest fit the situation
and use your best judgment when something is not covered in the code
Captions, Source Citations, and Descriptions
• Captions are in a 7/5 format– Must have an Identifier (Figure 1.1, Diagram 2.3,
etc.)– When one doesn’t exist add an embedded TN
with a descriptive term like Photograph, Caption, etc.
• Source Citations are in a 7/5 format– Immediately follow the caption– No blank line after the source citation is required
in a series that includes a descriptive TN
• Descriptions are in a 7/5 format and are enclosed in TN symbols.– They describe the material using vocabulary that
is appropriate for the grade level.
• Proper order for these materials are:– Caption– Source Citation– Descriptive TN
Where do they go?
• Illustrations are placed as close as possible to the related text.– Before the paragraph they are referred to when
the information is necessary to understand the text.
– After the paragraph when it supplements the discussion
• Unrelated illustrations are placed at the end of the page.– After the last completed paragraph on the page
Moving Illustrations Between Pages
• Only move the illustration if it is necessary for a through understanding of the text and will aide the student in the concept being taught.– Add a TN before the Illustration indicating where
the graphic was moved from.– Add a TN on the page that the graphic was moved
from referring to where it is relocated to.– Consider ease of use when placing TN’s
Tactile Representation of a Flow Chart
• Use a key to eliminate clutter.• Place the key and tactile graphic on facing
pages if they cannot fit on one page.• Place as much information on the graphic as
possible to ease the use of the material.
Timelines
• Timelines are brailled using a list format• First and last date are included (even if no
material is shown)• Each date is followed by its related entry• Dates without entries are excluded• Captions are placed immediately after there
related date in a 7/5 format.
Screenshots
• Enclose in a box• Use computer braille code for information
that must be input into a computer• Use descriptive TN’s to describe the layout of
the page.
Presentations• Each slide number is treated as the print page
number.• Format your braille for best readability.• Slide descriptions, when needed, are enclosed in a
transcriber's note.• Speaker's notes are brailled in 7-5 format and are
proceeded by “Notes” enclosed in transcriber's notes symbols. The notes continue on the same line following the identifier. Use proper paragraph formatting for the notes.
• See next page for the braille example of this page.
