ODE’s Vision: Items containing Literary Braille transcribed through transcription software Items containing Nemeth Braille transcribed manually by human Braillist Spatial / tactile test items transcribed manually by human Braillist (for supplemental short fixed-form, pre-embossed Braille test or innovative technology solution) All transcriptions reviewed for accuracy by an independent human Braillist
Remaining Questions: How to catalogue items that can be transcribed using transcription software vs transcribed by human? What transcription software to use?
Outstanding decision points: What is the best method for transcribing Nemeth and items with tactile graphics? What is the best, most usable layout for multiple choice items?
