[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Making Braille Symbols in Print

[Donald Winiecki]

Hi Sahar,

Perhaps you could provide a key for the sighted reader at the front of your
print translation. This key would display the braille symbols you want them
to learn along with the meanings of those symbols.

This way, you could include the braille symbols with the print so the
reader is both reading the print and interpreting the special non-print
braille symbols at the same time.
