Description: Diacritics (sometimes called accent marks) are features of many non-English languages. Diacritics guide the reader to the pronunciation of letters affected by the diacritics. In this webinar we present several reliable ways of adding diacritics in your source documents for use in computer-aided braille transcription. These methods work on Windows and Macintosh computers and with all of the computer-aided translation and transcription tools available. At the end of this webinar you will be able to add diacritics to your source documents using the methods described. A job aid for guiding the process is provided for your use.
