Susie I am a TVI and I took an online course which Hadley school was offering free of charge. I don't know if they are still offering it but even if they are NOT perhaps if they can send you the workbook it would be useful. If it is ok with them I can scan and send it to you.
My students are braille challenge winners and they are not mentioning anything, but that might be because they are just overlooking it or figure it is me that made the mistake?!
Transcribers and TVIs, NO OFFENSE intentioned toward either group have different standards. If I can get materials to my students which are understandable, good braille I am ok, but I know that the transcribers are much more attentive and diligent, especially about formatting. I am glad they are!!

I am a full-time translator for APH and my own personal company DOT Over DOT. No program is 100%, however there are times that the translation can misread the meaning of standalone characters or mathematical equations. Over all the translation is 90% correct. If you need a reference point for UEB there are many materials out there for use and would be glad to recommend them.

Subject: [duxuser] UEB question
Have any of you received any kind of training on UEB?
I am a teacher of the visually impaired who uses Duxbury to create braille for my students. I have received no training whatsoever on UEB. I have assumed that Duxbury is creating the UEB documents correctly. But some of my co-workers (both teachers and certified transcribers) say that Duxbury is making some mistakes in the translation. Is there any documentation anywhere that shows what mistakes Duxbury is making? Do we know if Duxbury is working to fix these mistakes? Are they aware of mistakes?
