Uncontracted Braille

Cherokee is translated into uncontracted braille, which means that words in the text are rendered into braille with one braille character for each inkprint letter. Some inkprint punctuation may require more than one braille character. Indicating upper case, emphasis, or numbers also adds braille characters to the character count. However, the braille contains no abbreviations or contractions.

Non-Roman Script

Cherokee is written in a non-Roman script called the Cherokee syllabary. This can occasionally cause problems when importing files to DBT. The best result is usually achieved by importing files from Microsoft Word or Open Office that are written in Unicode fonts. You can contact Duxbury Systems if you have file that does not import properly into DBT. Please send the original inkprint file with your request, not a screen shot of the DBT screen.

DBT's importers for Unicode files support characters in the Cherokee supplement Unicode block, but this text is converted during the importing into characters in the main Cherokee Unicode block, so there can be additional problems with Cherokee text if you try to paste it directly into DBT. A useful alternative is to paste such text into Microsoft Word or Open Office and import the resulting document into DBT.

Duxbury Systems strives to work with users to make sure that our software works with as many file formats as possible. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
