Get it in braille
BRF files are for braille embossers and braille displays. Unicode braille text has the same cells and page layout. Tactile picture PDFs are for swell paper; shaded parts use hatching.
Computer-made braille, not yet proofread. Please check with a braille reader.
Take the files to your child’s vision teacher or school. Ask them to check the braille and adapt the pictures before use. The EPUB contains text descriptions and answers for libraries and braille transcription services.
For swell paper (microcapsule) or a tactile embosser. Print at 100%.
Column sums are written as linear calculations, for example 345 + 278 =.
English uses uncontracted Unified English Braille (UEB), including UEB maths. Other languages use their local uncontracted tables.
