Unified English Braille Australian Training Manual now available in
Braillehttp://brailleaustralia.org

The Australian Braille Authority is pleased to announce the release of the
Unified English Braille Australian Training Manual (2014) in Braille format.

While the Training Manual is designed as a teaching tool for sighted people,
touch readers may benefit from its less formal explanations of UEB compared
with the UEB Rulebook. The Braille version will also be of value to touch
readers engaged in Braille teaching.

The UEB Australian Training Manual can be downloaded from the Australian
Braille Authority's website at 
http://brailleaustralia.org/unified-english-braille/unified-english-braille-australian-training-manual-2013/

In addition to the PDF print version, you will now find five BRF files. 

The embossable Braille version is in four volumes, designed to be embossed on
A4 size paper with 30 cells per line and 25 lines per page. 

If opened using the Duxbury Braille Translator, “read formatted Braille without
interpretation” should be checked in the Global menu under Formatted Braille
Importer. The fifth BRF file has been designed to be read using a refreshable
braille display.

Our thanks are extended to Kathy Riessen and Christine Simpson, who undertook
the mammoth task of transcribing and proofreading this complex document.

We hope that it will be of value to you.

With kind regards,Leona HollowayCorrespondence SecretaryAustralian Braille
