I agree with you about taking out the clutter.  But rather let the author of
the menus find it out from you and not from someone else.

Whatever I think, bear in mind that one's views on how closely Braille
should emulate print is an intensely political one.  In other words, even if
I prefer the absence of the emphasis for myself, I might still hold to the
belief that as a supplier of Braille I ought to give the Braille reader what
the print reader got.

And with Braille issues, there is no middle path to tread with confidence.

Subject: [duxuser] A Transcribing Question


I have been asked to transcribe some menus.  Up to this point my embossing
has been for my own use, so I set things up the way I like to read them.

When I emboss the files I was given for the menus, dots 4 and 6 preceed each
menu item.  I'm guessing that the print might be italicized or something and
that's why.

My question is, should I leave it that way, or remove the dots 4,6.  If it
were for my own use I would remove them.  To me, they're just unnecessary
extra dots.  I want to do this correctly.  What do you recommend.

Thanks,

Karen Poulakos
