I’d like to say here that this has always been a problem for pre-UEB files. I
mean, how is a computer supposed to know an email address’s periods from a
double d for example?
However, a great deal of work has gone into back translating in the newest
version of DBT. UEB’s Braille Code does make this a much less ambiguous task.
All I can say is that you are wise to check the results anyway. And if you do
find any anomalies, please let Duxbury know. I know a man there who will do
his utmost to fix or explain any such issues.

As far as I know, the DBT does not do a very good job at back-translating.
Indeed, even the translation from print to braille done by DBT needs to be
checked for errors.
So you will probably have to find some other way around your problem.

Subject: [duxuser] back translating
I have an assistant who does not know braille( I know, I know)
I also have a brf of a math book of which I need only certain pages, and
sections. Is there a way to back translate the brf to print, and then convert
to braille again without losing the integrity fit he translation?? I have tried
a page or two to experiment and the math is almost ruined. Just hoping I can
pass this labor intensive task to someone else, but I don't think I have that
option. Ideas?

you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose - not the one you
began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember. Anne Sullivan

Thank you for the below information. However, my embosser is interpoint. I had
to illuminate the binding offset because that created three unused spaces on
the left. I solved the space at the top of the page though. Now for some reason
I am not receiving Braille on both sides of the page even that interpoint is
checked in all places.

If you are using the Index D5 embosser, set your paper size to 11 by 11.5 on
the embosser.
In Duxbury set your document, embosser to 8.5 by 11, 30 characters per line, 25
lines per page, top margin to 1, binding margin to 3 and that should fix it.

Hi all,* * *
I want to emboss on 8.5-inch by 11-inch paper. I am using an Index
embosser. For some reason when I change my paper to letter size in DBT
11.3 it starts the embossing about 5 lines down from the top of the
page. It does not do this if I change the paper to 11 by 11.5 inch.
All the rest of my settings appear to be the same.
Any help would be appreciated.
I want to be able to fit what I need on 8.5 inch wide paper, and it
certainly can be done. But, I can't get it to emboss correctly since
once it starts embossing 5 lines from the top of the first page than
everything else is off!
