Thanks for passing on the link to the article.  While I absolutely agree the
description of the process is over simplistic, I am pleased that a story
about Braille transcription made it to press.  

 

Happy transcription!

Subject: [duxuser] Article on Braille transcription focuses on NBP
transcriber and Duxbury Systems

 

With a perhaps "over the top" use of Harry Potter as a metaphor, there was a
great article in yesterday's Boston Globe about braille transcription.

Rarely does a short article explain braille transcription issues so well.

By the way, I have checked Joe Sullivan's resume, and have confirmed that he
has in fact never attended Hogwarts.
