Unified English Braille (UEB) simplifies reading by using one Braille system for both everyday and technical content, no code switching needed. It makes learning and reading Braille more efficient for students and readers worldwide.

@NoahCarver I often ask myself this question, particularly when I run across abominations that #UEB have foisted on us. My favorite (not) is chemotherapy, which now looks like che mother apy.

Hey #Braille community! I’m using #SaoMaiBraille and need help with formatting. I’m trying to prevent the running head from showing on the first page of a book, as per UEB (Unified English Braille) rules in the US. According to UEB, the first page of text shouldn’t have a running head, but I’m struggling to figure out how to make that happen in Sao Mai. Any tips or workarounds?

Old habits die hard! Working on lesson 12 drills for my Braille proofreading course, and my brain keeps insisting "6-can" should be read as "6-3". After years of reading English Braille American Edition (EBAE), the transition to Unified English Braille (UEB) still trips me up sometimes. Had to double-check the drill answers to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Anyone else find themselves occasionally slipping back into old Braille conventions? #Braille #UEB #EBAE #BrailleLiteracy #blind #BrailleProofreading

I've been adding more symbols to our company's internal #Braille translator, and I'm again reminded of why I dislike #UEB so much. In this case, the official documentation doesn't list dot patterns for advanced mathematical concepts, like shapes, angle measures, congruence, etc. It took much more web searching to find these than it should have.

PS: One more imortant thing I should add: Just like sign language, Braille is NOT
'universal'.

Yes, Braille is used all over the world, but which characters, accents, etc are assigned to which dot pattern may be very different from language to language.

My comments upthread re #contractedBraille apply to #UEB, aka Unified English Braille, now in use across (all?) English-speaking nations.

6 dots = 64 possible one-cell characters

@plars Thanks Paul! I found a lot of resources at BANA, ICEB and RNIB. I see a lot of .brf files, which will be great when I figure out how to read BRF files on my Braille eReader. I was hoping to find a text document though, something that would have a table with the symbol in one column and the corresponding braille dots in the other. A trivial example would be something like . (period) is dots 2, 5,6. If you hear of anything let me know, but I'll keep looking. #Braille #UEB

@devinprater That would most likely have to be a post-processing step after the pandoc conversion. Also, as a proofreader, I don't trust computer translation, even with #UEB. If something looks weird in an EPUB, you can at least expand to computer braille at the cursor and get an unambiguous representation.

#Free #Braille courses. Here is a great resource for anyone who needs to brush up on their Braille, wanting to switch to #UEB, or want to learn Braille from the beginning. Only requires a computer... UEB Online | UEB Literacy & Mathematics Braille Training

@MissA94 @silly_singer @lynnskyi @angelgirl1976 I hate #UEB with the strength of ten thousand suns! Some of the changes seem really arbitrary and unnecessary. The one that gives Sarah and I the biggest belly laugh is vche mother apy. Just why?

@kev @TheQuinbox I use them on the pc. Trying to find what I want, in the emoji picker, is clunky. Maybe it's just a matter of practice? Doing the emoticons, on this phone, is difficult for me. Need to learn more #ueb Maybe I can set this #bsi to the old Computer Braille?
