Creating a Braille Job file
Braille grade 1 & 2
Grade 1 braille is a letter-by-letter translation of texts.
If you wish to create Grade 1 braille signage you can use any available braille font. These fonts may be
freely available on the internet.
Grade 2 braille introduces abbreviations and contractions for a large number of commonly used
words.
This is the recommended/preferred method of creating braille texts.
For Grade 2 braille you will need dedicated translation software.
Translation software recommendations can be found in the Raster Braille manual supplied with the
Braille Tool
.
Operations in the desktop publishing software
To create the Braille patterns select the Braille font and type the text.
Select a font size, which gives correct distance between the dots/patterns. Details are found in the
Raster Braille manual.
As with other fonts, outlines of the text need to be created before creating the output file for i-cut
Vision.
Since the Braille patterns should be drilled with the
HPMU
spindle as well as Braille spheres being
inserted with the
Braille Tool
, it is recommended to duplicate the Braille
Layer
.
Keep other graphics than Braille in separate layers.
