The Unified English Braille Code: Examination by Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science Technical Expert Braille Readers
Holbrook, M. Cay; MacCuspie, P. Ann
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v104 n9 p533-541 Sep 2010
Braille-reading mathematicians, scientists, and computer scientists were asked to examine the usability of the Unified English Braille Code (UEB) for technical materials. They had little knowledge of the code prior to the study. The research included two reading tasks, a short tutorial about UEB, and a focus group. The results indicated that the participants believed that UEB could be effectively used by people who are employed in technical fields. (Contains 1 table.)
