Dear friends, you are receiving a manual for transcribing black print into point writing. The publication of this handbook is part of a larger project - the preparation of a standard for writing in point writing.
With the boom of computer technology and electronic compensatory aids, new opportunities for the blind to study and apply are opening up. However, this also increases the requirements for accurate recording of professional texts, especially mathematics. Modern compensation aids allow the conversion of texts both from black print to point fonts and vice versa. Therefore, it is necessary that this transfer is mutually accurate. Due to the fact that the requirements for the transcription of professional texts increased, it was necessary to introduce a system that would in principle allow the registration of, for example, higher mathematics.
On May 18, 1995, representatives of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in Prague, ČUNS, SNS, KTN K.E. Macan Prague, the Fund for the Blind, the blind magazine ZORA, the Grammar School and Business Academy for ZP Prague, the Conservatory of J. Deyl Prague, the Primary School for ZP Brno, the Primary School for Children with Residual Sight Prague, the J. Ježek School in Prague met and unanimously approved the preliminary draft of the standard of Czech national Braille braille character sets submitted by PhDr. Rudolf Volejník, Jindřich Hegr and RNDr. Wanda Gonzúrová. On the basis of this decision, this guide has been prepared.
The handbook is divided into four parts, which are divided into individual topics. In the first part, the general basis and mathematics M1 are in the scope of the primary school curriculum. In the second part, the basics of F1 physics and CH1 chemistry are in the scope of elementary school curriculum. The third part of the handbook contains mathematics M2, physics F2 and chemistry CH2 in the range of secondary school curriculum. In the fourth part, there will be the basics for the transcription of higher mathematics. Each volume is an extension of the previous part, and therefore all parts of the manual should be understood as a whole. For better orientation, each volume will be accompanied by an index to the relevant work and a complete index.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all my colleagues and collaborators, especially Mgr. Emília Průchová and Mgr. Eva Hadáčková for their very valuable comments, which contributed significantly to the current form of the handbook. Although all upcoming changes have been continuously verified, we welcome all your knowledge and experience.
Dr.Wanda Gonzúrová
