Practice Transcribing and Proofreading – Advanced — Kyle DeJute
Wednesday, November 2, 9:00 a.m.–11:30 a.m. CT
We will explore a collection of practice items and passages that include a variety of math and science content (e.g., radicals, complex fractions, chemical equations, etc.) We will proofread braille and create transcriptions as individuals and as a group. This workshop is not an introduction to the UEB Guidelines for Technical Material; it is appropriate for those who are somewhat familiar with the GTM. If possible, please come with a laptop or other device on which to transcribe.
Elementary Math and Algebra Basics — Kyle DeJute
Thursday, November 3, 9:00 a.m.–11:30 a.m. CT
This workshop focuses on sections of the Rules of UEB and the Guidelines for Technical Material (GTM) that apply to elementary level math, including some algebra. Our goal is to identify UEB concepts that are foundational to accurate basic math transcription and then practice applying those foundational concepts so they can become habit. Yes, we will even discuss the art that is deciphering quirky print arrangements on the page
eBRF Discussion: What do Transcribers Want in a New BRF? — William Freeman
Thursday, November 3 9:00–11:30 a.m. CT
Friday, November 4 2:00-4–30 p.m. CTFor many years, braille has been wonderfully served by the BRF file type. However, while the braille file type has stayed the same, many advances have occurred in the print world. Please join William Freeman for a discussion of how we can move forward with a new braille file type. This file type will incorporate markup so that braille readers can have advanced navigation and dynamic content for the first time in a braille file made by a transcriber. Please come to this workshop prepared to discuss your ideas and concerns as they relate to such a file type as your feedback will be invaluable in this process. Together we will work to make braille better.
Nemeth Code Jeopardy! – Kyle DeJute
Thursday, November 3, 2:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m. CT
This! Is! Jeopardy! Just like in the game show, answers and questions are arranged by difficulty level and organized in categories (for example, “Identify the Symbol” and “To Switch or Not to Switch?”). Attendees in this workshop can be audience members, contestants, or members of competing teams. Here is a sample: “This is what we will have while strengthening our Nemeth Code knowledge.” … “What is fun?” “Correct!”
But Why Not — Kyle DeJute
Friday, November 4, 2:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m. CT
The boring answer is “Because.” But we want more! We braille transcribers want to know “Why exactly can’t it be brailled that way?” and “Why is it like that?!” With the goal of answering all the burning “why” questions, we will explore the Bulletin series “But Why Not?” This series of five Bulletin articles (published from 2019-2020) explains why certain contractions cannot be used in examples from Rule 10 of the Rules of UEB. We will delve deep into the examples in the “But Why Not?” series, and there will be time in this workshop for related questions and spirited discussions.
