It assesses the effectiveness of all braille codes and their adequacy in providing the media for the production of general literature, music, and technical materials. The codes examined include English Braille, American Edition, The Code of Braille Textbook Formats and Techniques, The Nemeth Code of Braille Mathematics and Scientific Notation, The Revised International Manual of Braille Music Notation, and others. Problems in transcription have challenged the abilities of both volunteer transcribers and braille publishers for years. The author argues that this book is needed because of the lack of systematic examination of all types of copy in order to search out and locate symbols and formats used by ink-print publishers. The author believes that if braille codes are to be implemented fully, it is essential that researchers in all aspects of code development have an inventory of ink-print representations in order to provide for all possible braille code requirements. The author also examines broader issues like the need for a dedicated organization to stimulate and monitor future research efforts, the development of an integrated code, and how to secure funding for these programs.
