Subject: [access-uk] Braille note with the Penfriend
hello,
as promised I have read the Braille note that was sent out about the
changes in thePenfriend sockets and it does have several errors. There
are random extra dots 5 or 6 in cell 2 and this is a typical issue that
is caused by faulty pins in the embosser. It probably didn't happen on
all the copies because typically this type of problem just happens
quite randomly.
Anyway, whatever the cause, the end result is that the customer gets
poor Braille and nobody wants that. I can't promise that you'll never
experience something similar in the future; given the millions of pages
of Braille that come out of RNIB each year some may contain rogue dots
and you can easily imagine the cost of having to check every page before
it is despatched. Given the random way in which an embosser can generate
this kind of fault, the only way to guarantee complete accuracy would
indeed be to read every page of every copy of every document, magazine
or book.
So I apologise unreservedly to those of you who got the rotten bit of
Braille. We'll do our best to stop it happening again.
John
