Braille Pages*
Single-Sided: In a single-sided printing, braille is only embossed on the front of each sheet of paper. This method is often recommended for early education (K-3) and new braille learners.

Interpoint: In an interpoint printing, braille is embossed on both sides of the sheet of paper. This reduces the volume count of the final transcription and is suitable for proficient braille readers of all grade levels.

The default method for APH is interpoint.
Does this translation need to be double-spaced?
Please note: Double-Spaced Braille has 2 blank lines for every blank line required in a traditional transcription. This method will increase price and size of the final book.
Is this book to be transcribed as Consumable?*
Consumable: Consumable textbooks are transcribed so that the student can insert their answers directly onto the embossed braille pages. It is single-sided and comes unbound in a 3-ring binder to allow the student to tear out each page and braille in their answers. This is suitable for workbooks and activity books and is more common in early education materials (K-3). Consumable format is not recommended for grades beyond early education.
Include Spanish Glossary?*
