[nabop] Next Steps for Honing Braille Transcription Skills?

[Valdez, Danielle, CFB]

Hello, 

I actually just passed the NCUEB exam in April. I did so by transcribing anything I could get my hands on! Any news articles from Newsline, emails, shopping lists, etc. I also read a book in hard copy braille in EBAE and a book in UEB on a BrailleSense. My advice is to immerse yourself as much as possible in braille. 

I have also heard that the Hadley Institute for the Blind and Visually Impaired's Transition to UEB course will make you more than prepared for the NCUEB exam. I have taken the Braille Literacy 3 and 4 courses through Hadley and really enjoy it!

I hope this helps. Good luck in your future endeavors!

Best,

Hi, Everyone.
I'm working on my trial manuscript and hope to be UEB certified in the next few months.

Are there any Braille transcribers on list? If not, is there an e-mail list where I can go to ask questions regarding career development opportunities, or discuss how I can further hone my skills??

Thanks,
Dani
