5. Graphics:

APH has created a Tactile Graphic Image Library (TGIL) for transcribers use. You can register to use this website free at: imagelibrary.aph.org For additional information on the TGIL e-mail: [email protected]

Create graphics in one of the following ways: collage, electronic, or line.

Keep the graphic within the boundaries of 40 cells wide and 25 lines down. See sample template for tactile graphics. See Attachment #4.

Label each master graphic with the catalog and volume numbers on the back.

mailto:[email protected]


09/26/08 7

5. Graphics (cont.):

Consider the heat of thermoforming when choosing materials for collage graphics. Do not use materials that may melt or change shape, e.g., Foamies, Wikki Stix, puff paint, soft plastics, etc. See Attachment #5, MATERIALS LIST.

Retain the graphic pages within the brf file for removal and replacement with the actual tactile graphic. Page numbering should be shown on these otherwise blank pages.

Consider all blank pages before a graphic as a numbered braille page, but not a continuation of print page numbering. All pages containing a graphic include a print and braille page number. See Attachment #6, GRAPHICS PAGINATION SAMPLE.

Consider transcriber’s notes to replace simple graphics.

Add a transcriber's note containing descriptive text (when necessary) for complex graphics.

Place key for graphic on the same page as the graphic when possible, or on left facing page (even braille page number). See Attachment #7, PLACEMENT OF GRAPHIC KEYS.

Assign 2 braille cell symbols in the key and diagram. Symbols on the graphic must be identical to the symbols shown in the key. E.g. cw for cell wall.

Ensure that tactile symbols are the same in the graphic and the key.

Use the same key symbols to represent the same items in each graphic when a print illustration is divided into several pages.

Include all pie charts, Venn diagrams, line graphs, bar graphs, and graphic organizers as graphics.

Create graphics that are clean and readable.


09/26/08 8

5a. Maps:

Follow these directives when one print map requires more than one tactile graphic: 1. Each graphic page should contain a title, a

key, and the actual graphic. 2. If the key will not fit on the page with the

graphic, place the key on the even numbered page preceding the graphic.

3. If a map requires multiple pages to display different features, such as: population, cities and states, industries, etc., insert a transcriber's note. E.g. Map 1—population, Map 2─cities and states, Map 3─industries.

Include a completed Graphic Tally Sheet with each shipment. See Attachment #8, GRAPHIC TALLY SHEET SAMPLE.

Submit graphic masters to APH when you submit transcription.

6. Proofreading:

Proofreading MUST be done for all transcriptions, including graphics.

Contact the Braille Textbook Coordinator @ X371 or e-mail [email protected] if a proofreader is not available.

Proofreading by the transcriber of the text is NOT acceptable.

Two people are used when proofreading, one to read print (copyholder) the other to read braille/simbraille. Transcriber of text may be the print copyholder.

Use the enclosed ERROR SHEET for proofreader to submit to transcriber, and transcriber to submit to APH. See Attachment #9.



09/26/08 9

7. Ink Print Pages:

Submit the ink print pages as a separate word-processing file or text file.

Use the TITLE PAGE template provided, Attachments #2 and #3.

INK PRINT FILES: Title page Transcriber’s Identification page Special Symbols page(s) Transcriber’s Notes page(s) listing all

transcriber’s notes throughout the volume, by page number.

Exception: Do not repeat Keys for graphics.

See SAMPLE TN PAGE for format and content. This ink print page will contain the same information that appears on the braille TN page, PLUS a listing, by page number, of all the transcriber’s notes throughout the volume. See Attachment #10.

8. Workflow:

Send 3 to 5 volumes at a time, starting in this order: Volume(s) of text 1-3 Supplement(s) 1-3 Volumes of text 4-6 Supplement(s) (if any additional)

Send no less than three volumes at a time, if delivering the text piecemeal unless it completes the book.

Running Head

Suggested Materials for Tactile Graphics to be

Thermoformed for Mass Production Most items available at M.J. Designs, Michael’s, or any Arts and

Crafts Store

• Lines: o cotton strings of all widths o embroidery yarn o knotted embroidery yarn or string o cloth-covered floral wire o strips of cardboard o zig-zag or rick-rack (sewing stores) o architect blueprint tapes (2-3 layers) o edge of a surface texture (yes, edges can and are discerned as

lines)

• Surfaces: o leather o wood o sandpaper o embroidery or cross-stitch cloth o cardboard o different fabrics, corduroy, apparent weave visible in cloth

(dishcloth) o glitter o paper towels o sheets of cork

01/07 1

o wooden shapes (pre-cut)

01/07 2

• Glues:

o Elmer’s Glue-All o Monoaqua liquid glue by Tombo o Sticker Maker by Xyron

• Tools:

o Sharp scissors (e.g. surgery scissors) o X-Acto knife o Light box (APH or craft stores) o Semi-transparent self healing cutting board (office supply

stores)

• Helpful Tips: 1. Do not use rubber or plastic based materials or glues, e.g. sticky-backed foam, plastic beads (eyes), etc. They are likely to melt, shrink, or fall off under the heat of thermoforming process. 2. When using more dense materials, especially over a large area, air holes are usually necessary to be pricked close to the edge of the material (from front of graphic to back), to allow free flow of air during the thermoforming process. 3. Excess glue should be removed from graphic by a tooth pick, dental tool (for cleaning teeth) or small putty knife. The excess glue will be slightly detectable by the braille reader, causing your edges to be “muddy” or unclear. 4. Labels should be brailled on the page prior to creation of graphic, if possible. Otherwise, label them using slate and stylus after creation. If a braille label is cut out and pasted on, the edges become additional lines and may cause more clutter (except within textures).

GRAPHICS PAGINATION Braille Formats and other texts transcribers use for reference do not say much, if anything, about interpoint embossing. Most decisions are left to the agency. Most of the agency decisions made by APH have been adopted by ATIC. The decisions made refer to Braille Formats Rule 1, Section 13c(3-4). “these pages carry only the number of the page on which text appears …” ATIC requires that there be no braille page numbers on even numbered pages. If there is no print text on a braille page, that page is not to be considered a numbered print page. Example: Text for print page b347 appears on braille page 5. We have to leave the even numbered page blank (left side of opened book) to insert a graphic, but we do not assign an ink print page number to this blank braille page as it contains no ink print text. The upcoming graphics page number is print page c347 (graphic is considered ink print text) and braille page 7. The back of this graphics page contains no page numbers (print or braille). The next odd numbered braille page with text or another graphic braille page would be braille page 9, with the print page number d347. (See also Key placement.pdf file).

PLACEMENT OF GRAPHIC KEYS Braille Formats does not discuss the key placement for tactile graphics. But, every reference to a key for a table, columned material and/or pronunciation table, stresses that the key must be part of a transcriber's note and must precede the item. See Rule 7, Sec. 1d(1), Rule 8, Sec. 9c, Rule 8, Sec. 6b. Even when discussing captions that might further describe a table, the instructions are to place that caption before the table. See Rule 8, Sec 5. The Accessible Textbook Department requires all keys to be either on the same page as the graphic, or on the preceding page of the graphic in interpoint transcriptions. Use 2 cell symbols within the key and diagram. Symbols on the graphic must be identical to the symbols shown in the key.

Repeat the key with each graphic when one print item requires multiple graphics.
