I received my statement yesterday and am still trying to get through the
communication red tape associated with filing a complaint.

Hi Anne,
And what response did you get when you complained to the card company about
their extremely poor braille?
Remember, they are pay to have this work done - even if they actually employ
someone on house to do this work.

I wish my credit card company's braillist would learn how to do the job. It
is appalling what a mess it is, and not because of UEB. Words run together,
contractions used inconsistently, and just trashy work.

I agree! It scares the heck out of me too, but I am way to old to do what I
did in my 20's: do it all, even if it means brailling until 3 am every night

That's the scariest statement... just saying
I have people who are doing the production, who do not know braille,

I agree. My students are not learning UEB this year, as I systematically
taught it to them last year.
Now, having taught them that, when I bring a math doc into UEB, it does not
have translate the math correctly.
So now they are reading UEB for literary, and pre-UEB for docs with Nemith.
I have people who are doing the production, who do not know braille, so they
are assuming this is all coming out correctly, which it is not, so I need to
know which translation/template/whatever it is called, to open it in, where
I can be confident the students are getting correct Nemith. Here's to a fun
school year:)

You want the message from BANA or what's best for the student? LOL
All kidding aside, many agencies are requesting Nemeth before the change and
incorporating UEB. So, it's contracted UEB with contracted Nemeth.
BANA Guidelines are extremely challenging for the pre-UEB reader since they
wish to incorporate code switches and Nemeth in grade 1.
I recommend a gradual change because students should not be concerned with
legibility in a math class. Learning the braille should be in braille class.
If you have the opportunity to tweak for each student's needs, that's
awesome.
Just my two cents.

Sorry I know this has been asked but here I go:
I have a doc with math equations which I open in Duxbury. Should I be using
PRE UEB, or UEB with Nemith? When I open the doc in UEB with Nemith, all of
the numbers are in literary format.
My students are using UEB but for math docs I have been opening them in PRE
UEB and it reads the math type correctly.
I guess our students will be very versatile...they seem to have to know all
the braille pre-post-during-in-between....
