on the braillers or the computers.
The instructor will conduct a wrap-up discussion to assess the students’ levels of
comprehension. Student stress should be noted. The instructor may say that:
PROFITT Curriculum Module # 4 – Gaining Proficiency with the Braille Alphabet
Braille Module 4-5
“We have covered a great deal of new material this week. Tomorrow, you will
repeat the transcription exercise for a score.”
Their hard work should be recognized. Content questions should be directed to individuals
in order to assess retention and understanding. Students should be directed to study for
the graded activity in the next module.
ASSESSMENT
During the final 10 minutes of the class the instructor will summarize the content of this
module. During this period the students will be encouraged to ask questions and share
their reactions to the module.
The assessment for this module will be through teacher observation of student
participation and written work.
Best Practices
1. Each agency requires different specifications to produce braille. Therefore explain to
the students the importance of acquiring the agencies specs prior to starting to work for
them. This will save valuable time and resources. If you do not follow the agencies specs
they will most likely not hire you to work for them.
2. Discuss how vital it is to start ethical behavior now in preparation for their career. The
will need to use ethical behavior in order to succeed in the braille world upon release.
3. Discuss with the importance of studying the rules, doing their own work, and spending
time proofreading.

Perky Duck Overview (4.B.1)
Perky Duck is a program designed for student braille transcribers. Chances are that you are such a student, and your instructor has requested that you use Perky Duck for your assignments. When you use Perky Duck to transcribe in braille, you can easily revise your work when you find mistakes, and your teacher can check your work by looking at the braille documents you create electronically. It is possible to create real physical braille with Perky Duck, but you may never need to. Chances are that your instructor will accept your assignments in electronic document form.
What Perky Duck Does
Perky Duck allows you to type in braille on your computer. Using just six keys on an ordinary keyboard — typically the home row keys f, d, s, j, k, and l — and the spacebar and enter keys, you can create any braille document. The trick is that you need to know braille, because Perky Duck doesn't provide any assistance translating print into braille. Nor does Perky Duck check your work as you go along. Perky Duck is made to work like a Perkins Brailler . If you've used a Perkins Brailler before, and are familiar with how to open and save documents in other computer programs, then you'll be quite comfortable with Perky Duck in no time.
If you've never used a Perkins Brailler before, all you really need to know is this: whenever you want to type a braille cell, you must push one or more of the braille keys at once. If you push just "f", you'll get a braille cell with only dot 1. If you push "f" and "d" together, you'll get one braille cell containing both dots 1 and 2. Your instructor should cover this in much greater detail. Being able to type braille using this chording technique
is the principal manual skill that you'll need to develop as a transcriber.
If you have used a Perkins Brailler before, you'll find some enhanced features in Perky Duck, such as a margin bell. You'll also find three things that Perky Duck does that a Perkins Brailler cannot:
1. Perky Duck wraps words automatically. That is, if you type beyond the right edge of the "paper" on screen, then Perky Duck will move the whole word to the next line. When you are typing braille that is formatted into simple paragraphs, this means that you can ignore the margin bell if you choose. However, the margin bell is still very handy when you are creating more complex formats, or if you wish to practice your hyphenating skills.
2. Perky Duck allows you to correct your work using the backspace and delete keys just as you would in a word processor. This can be very handy when you are just starting to learn
transcription; chances are that you'll use this feature a lot.
3. Perky Duck never requires you to insert paper, but instead will create a new "sheet" for your electronic braille document whenever it is needed.
These features should make your editing simpler, but still you are in absolute control of the braille content and layout. The developers at Duxbury Systems consulted with
PROFITT Curriculum Module # 4 – Gaining Proficiency with the Braille Alphabet
Braille Module 4-10
instructors of braille transcription to find out just the right level of formatting and editing features to include in Perky Duck. We wanted to provide enough that new transcribers would be able to work quickly and keep focused on what they are learning, while not providing so much that students would be able to create braille documents without
mastering all the nuances of braille transcription and formatting rules themselves.
How to Use Perky Duck
Perky Duck is designed for Microsoft® Windows™ and works like many other programs designed for Windows. If you are familiar with other Windows programs, then you may not need to further; just explore. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to read the Perky Duck Quick Start Guide. Your instructor may have provided you a printed copy of the quick start
guide. If not, you can click on the link above to read it.
The Quick Start guide covers only the most important features of Perky Duck. Detail about other features is available by clicking on each link below. These links will take you to
detailed descriptions of features available within each menu of the Perky Duck menu bar.
Perky Duck's menu bar contains six menus:
The File Menu allows you to open, save, close and print documents. You can even print the document on your braille embosser if you have one. Learning to use the
File Menu is the most important part of learning to use Perky Duck.
The Edit Menu allows you to copy or move parts of your document from one place to another. You can also use the edit menu to move quickly around large
documents.
Use View Menu to change how a document looks on screen. The View Menu won't change the content or format of your document, but only details about the on-screen appearance. You may also use the View Menu to enable or disable chording (entry of braille using six keys).
Use the Document Menu to change the page size of your document. It is probable
that you will seldom need to use the Document Menu.
Use the Global Menu to set up the default page size for your documents. If you have a braille embosser to use with Perky Duck, you should also use the Global Menu to tell Perky Duck about the embosser. The Global Menu also allows you to tailor other features of Perky Duck to your liking. For example, you can select which
six keys to use for chording braille by using the Global Menu.
Use the Help Menu to learn more about Perky Duck, or to check Duxbury Systems'
web site to see if an updated version of Perky Duck is available.

Braille Module 4-11
THE FILE MENU The File menu contains selections for opening, closing, translating, and performing other actions on entire document files. The File menu also has the means to exit Perky Duck.
The following choices appear under File: New, Open, Close, Save, Save As, Print, Emboss,
and Exit
FILE > NEW...
New is used to create a new, untitled Duxbury document without any text in it.
FILE > OPEN...
Open is used to open a previously saved Perky Duck file.
FILE > CLOSE Use Close when you are finished editing a document, but don't wish to exit Perky Duck. If
applicable, you will be prompted to save the document before closing it.
FILE> SAVE
Save will write to disk all changes made to the current document. Save is unavailable when the document hasn't changed since it was last saved. The File: Save As... dialog is automatically brought up if the document hasn't been named yet.
FILE > SAVE AS...
The Save As dialog can be used to name an untitled Duxbury document. If you wish to create a document by starting from a similar document, you can first open the existing document, then use Save As to create another name for the new document after making the changes. Form letters are easily created in this manner.
The controls within this dialog are nearly identical to those in the File: Open... dialog.
FILE > PRINT...
The Print dialog is used to send the active document out to the printer (NOT the embosser) selected in the Global Menu. The first control is a text box in which you can type in the number of copies you want, if more than one. The second control has radio buttons to choose between all or selected pages. The third and fourth controls are used only if using selected pages; they are text boxes to type the starting (from) and ending
(to) pages, respectively.
For printing simulated braille on a supported printer, the braille will be printed in
whichever font is picked in the View Menu.
4.B.1
PROFITT Curriculum Module # 4 – Gaining Proficiency with the Braille Alphabet
Braille Module 4-12
FILE > EMBOSS...
Emboss is available only when a braille file is in the active window. The file will be printed on the embosser selected in the Global Menu. As with File: Print..., there is a text box control for number of copies, radio buttons for all or selected pages, a text box for starting
(from) page, and a text box for ending (to) page.
THE EDIT MENU
The Edit menu contains tools for working with text in a document. Choices include:
EDIT > GOTO...
If you wish to relocate the cursor to an exact location, such as 'page 5, line 3, column 4', the “Goto” feature is a dialog with three self-explanatory text box controls to do so. All three values are initially set to the current location of your cursor. If you wish to access a particular reference page, there's a check box to make it possible.
THE VIEW MENU
The View menu determines which document will appear on your screen, and how it will appear. The bottom of the View menu is a list of all documents opened during your editing session. Choosing one of these documents will make it become the current document. The remaining View menu items, listed below, will affect the way the front-most document appears. The View Menu contains: Full-Page, Braille Font, and SimBraille
Font.
VIEW > FULL-PAGE
The Full-Page feature toggles between two different zoom levels. When using Full-Page, the point size of the display font is adjusted so that an entire page of text can appear on-screen at once. The text is normally too small for editing, but may be useful for seeing where the pages break. A check mark next to Full-Page indicates that it is enabled.
When not using Full-Page, the screen font is as set in Global: Fonts....
VIEW > BRAILLE FONT
By choosing the braille font your braille documents will appear on-screen as graphical dots. Unless you are viewing the codes, the image is WYSIWYG. In other words, your embosser should produce exactly what you see on-screen.
VIEW > SIMBRAILLE FONT
The SimBraille font is the same as picking View: Braille Font but SimBraille adds shadow
dots.
4.B.1
PROFITT Curriculum Module # 4 – Gaining Proficiency with the Braille Alphabet
Braille Module 4-13
THE GLOBAL MENU
The Global menu contains several selections which can be used to control how DBT operates. Use any global menu selection will affect all DBT operations, not just those associated with the current document. The Global Menu includes: Embosser Setup and
Printer Setup.
GLOBAL >EMBOSSER SETUP...
The Embosser dialog is used to tell DBT about your braille embosser. There are sixteen
controls in all.
First is a list of popular embossers. Choosing a model from this list will automatically set up all remaining controls, except for those related to the port. Use 'unlisted' or 'unlisted interpoint' if you can't find your model.
After choosing your model from the list of embossers, you may opt to change from the
default settings for that model.
If your embosser is set to use a 'code page' (or 'language') other than 'North American,' 'USA,' or the like, select its current setting from the 'Codepage' list. Please note that DBT does not support alternative code pages on many embossers. If the 'Codepage' list is empty after you have selected your embosser, you must set it for 'North American' or
'USA' operation, even if you will not be producing English braille.
Check the 'treat as interpoint' checkbox only if you have an interpoint embosser, and plan to use it in double-sided mode. Doing so will insure that DBT always sends the device an even number of pages; using this feature for single-sided jobs may end up wasting one
sheet of paper as a result.
The text controls for maximum characters per line and maximum lines per page can also be changed, but be sure that they match your embosser's internal settings. These numbers should normally be LARGER than the desired page size. Note that each setting has an associated check box to tell DBT if the embosser will automatically react when the
maximums are reached; for most setups, these boxes should be unchecked.
The two text controls, 'DESIRED characters per line' and 'DESIRED lines per page' determine the actual size of each page created by DBT for all braille documents. Obviously DBT can't create pages that exceed the maximum sizes set in the brailler.
The binding margin is normally just the left margin to be added by DBT. For interpoint embossers, the binding margin sets the left margin for odd pages only; the left margin on even pages is calculated so that text will be centered on the front and back of each interpoint sheet. If you already have a suitable left margin in the embosser's configuration, leave this control at zero.
4.B.1
PROFITT Curriculum Module # 4 – Gaining Proficiency with the Braille Alphabet
Braille Module 4-14
The remaining controls are not automatically set when you choose an embosser from the list in the first control, and they must be accurate if DBT is to emboss properly. These five radio groups tell DBT to what port the embosser is attached, and if a serial connection, the proper baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits. Note that if PRN, an LPT port or a Windows Device is chosen, the serial setup controls are dimmed out because they are
irrelevant.
Choosing a Windows Device has the potential advantages of background printing and sending data to networks queues. It may also help you to eliminate WriteComm Failed errors, if you are experiencing this problem. However, this option is only sensible if you have already followed the instructions given to install a Windows Device specifically to drive your embosser. (This can be a matter best left to somebody who is comfortable with technical procedures.) If you have installed such a device, and do select Windows Device as the port, you need to pick the appropriate device from the pull-down list provided.
GLOBAL > PRINTER SETUP...
The 'Global: Printer...' dialog is used to tell DBT about your printer. There are four controls in all, plus direct access to the 'Printer Setup' dialog as found in the Windows Control Panel. The first two controls are for top and left margins, in inches. The second
two are for the page height and width, in characters.
Listed at the top of the dialog is the currently selected printer. If the listed printer is not the one you want, or if it needs to be configured, activate the Select Printer... button.
THE HELP MENU
HELP > HELP TOPICS
Select this menu item to get the table of contents for Perky Duck's on-line help. This on-line help is organized as hypertext. Other on-line help, available separately under the Help
menu, may be found in the Read-Me selection.
HELP > HELP-ON-HELP...
Perky Duck's help viewer is a totally separate application from Perky Duck, with its own menus and dialogs. Use 'Help on Help' if you are unfamiliar with the Windows-style help viewers.
HELP > ABOUT Perky Duck...
Use this menu selection to bring up a dialog box containing information about Perky Duck specific to your installation. Included within this dialog box is information such as the current version number of Perky Duck and your license number. This information will be
very helpful if you need to reach Duxbury Systems for technical support.

support to registered users of Perky Duck.
Saving in Perky Duck
The file extension that you choose will be .DXB which you will select in the Save As type
box. You must use USA encoding (.BRF) however to turn your lessons in to be graded.
Use the drop down box near the Save As type area to save the .BRF extension. Make
sure you keep two copies of each correct file:a .DXB and a USA encoding (.BRF)
because you cannot open the .BRF back in Perky Duck.
