Looks fine to me, and I don't know about the bookshare tools deciphering it but
it should be good to go that way. Or possibly you can try 1\1/2 and see if they
meaning the translators for braille will vomit it up. Either way it should be
good to go.

I write it like this 1 1/2. Will the Braille Translator translate this?

What if the fraction was a cup and a half of another how would that
be written again? Just my curiosity!

Hi Pam,
The braille translater, or is it translator, won't handle the
fraction symbols. They need to be written as 1/2, and like that.
Thanks for asking!

readers
Hey all,
I'm coming across a bunch of fractions for recipes in the
book that I'm proofing. For Braille readers, is the 1 / 2 format better than
the symbol 1 over 2 in one individual space (sorry I can't make this symbol in
e-mail). Any preference?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Pam
