Choose Template

In this instance, "Template" refers to a Word Template which can be applied to your open Word document. These contains Word Styles which, when applied to the Text in the document, will result in a very specific layout in braille. This can be an especially useful feature for professional transcribers.

Currently this option only contains BANA Word Templates. If you use the BANA braille layout recommendation as defined in, "Braille Formats Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2011", please see the section entitled "BANA Templates".

General note concerning Templates:

Unified English Braille (UEB) defines braille rules, but specifically not braille layout. National Braille Authorities may make specific recommendations such as, where print braille page numbers are placed, how Headings are formatted, and such like.

If you have national guidelines and wish these to be included in a new Template to be released in DBT, please contact Duxbury as early as possible languages@duxsys.com to discuss your specific requirements.
