Hi Karen,
My name is Fina Currey. I'm a braille transcriber and do alot of restaurant
menus. I get these menus in pdf format at times or, they send them to me
via e-mail.
Before i transcribe them, i look carefully at the print file and see what
kind of things it has on the margins of it. I've found that sometimes,
these things that look like italics or quotes of somekind or another, are
symbols that are there to let people know how the item is prepared; for
example, it might be a spicy item and that stuff you're seeing, may be a
picture of a jalapeno or some other kind of graphic indicating either spicy
or vegetarian.
Thanks for reading.
