It should show it as the letter c. so no worries there.
I would just do the 1/2 at least that is what I have always done.
Cool, more cook books!

Reading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel,
anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and
you read it in your own terms. -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Scanning Three Cookbooks
Hi everyone. I have been given three short cookbooks, and I think they're
going to scan well enough to submit. They look good so far. Each one is around
100 pages. My mom is going to help me read ingredients if something doesn't
come out well. I'll share the titles, and then I have a question about making
the ingredients work for Braille users. I've never actually submitted a
cookbook, and I need a little guidance. The titles are
Better Homes and Gardens Breakfast and Brunch Cookbook
Better Homes and Gardens Chocolate Cookbook
Better Homes and Gardens Great Grilling Cookbook
Ok, I know I need to write out the fractions for measurements. For Braille
users, do I write them as 1/2 cup? Also, in the recipes, the measurements are
abbreviated, like the letter C for cup. I think the Braille translator might
show 1/2 C as 1/2 can if a person if using grade 1 or computer Braille. Is that
right, or does the Bookshare tool know to show it as the letter C? I'll fix it
if I need to, but I don't want to make extra work for myself if I don't need
to.
Thanks for any clarification you all can provide.
