New Product: 2024 Braille Formats Study Guide

This past June the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) published an Errata, an Update, and an Addendum to the Principles of Print To Braille Transcription, 2016. While anticipating the release of those documents our Braille Formats/Textbook Committee set to work on updating our own Study Guide. We’re pleased to announce the newest version of the Study Guide is now available for purchase!

The NBA 2024 Braille Formats Study Guide is intended to help users navigate the difficult task of understanding and applying the principles laid out in the guidelines document published by BANA. This publication is intended to be a supplemental learning tool for transcribers either just getting started with Formats or even for more seasoned transcribers wanting to learn more. Whether you are just looking to improve your knowledge, or if you’re preparing to certify in Formats, this Study Guide is aimed at helping you feel more confident in your understanding of the guidelines.

The Study Guide is broken down into 22 sections and each section features a short quiz for you to test your knowledge. After completing the quiz, like the one shown below, you can test your knowledge against the provided answer key.
