[duxuser] A question about Perky duck and DBT?

Top of the evening, folks:

 

An assignment done with Perky duck was embossed for me to evaluate (my
preferred process). The student is contesting two of the obvious errors I
flagged as inaccurate.

 

According to the student, and from her own end, the saved assignment in her
PC is indicating what I flagged as errors as accurate braille signs. I then
asked the student to share the saved assignment with a TVI who is
knowledgeable in the braille code. The TVI also did not see the two specific
errors I detected in the embossed copy of the assignment.

 

Then, it occurred to me that perhaps, with even the latest DBT,  technology
may not be after all 100% "perfect". 

 

My question: Is it possible for a technical glitch to occur when DBT is
embossing an assignment that has been Perky ducked?

 

My plan  (after getting feedback from listers and the manufacturer) would be
to mail to the student the graded hard copy of the assignment, showing all
the specific errors I highlighted. 

 

Thanks.
