He said there was one kind that was like pinyin in Braille, and another kind that was just raised characters, which gave a better picture of the character structure.

Meng Lelan Posted June 5, 2014 at 11:02 AM Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 at 11:02 AM Oh, that's the HumanWare BrailleNote. I was trained on that during the internship and that thing costs $$$$ Do you have any idea how the guy learned Chinese braille - what textbook, what resources he used? The reason I am asking is a Chinese colleague is going back to China this summer and I asked her to bring back resources for learning mainland Chinese braille, and she asked if I had any title in mind.

Just email me at my sinosplice.com address (john@), and I'll forward it on to him for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
