The Unified English Braille Australian Training Manual (revised 2022) is a series of lessons and practice exercises by which teachers, transcribers and parents can learn UEB. The 2022 edition is an update of the 2013, 2014 and 2016 editions with some changes as listed in this Word file.
The Training Manual is available for free download as print or braille.
There are two PDF files, one with braille represented using SimBraille and the other using Unicode braille (better for screen readers and refreshable displays). The embossable braille versions (four volumes) are formatted for A4 paper at 30 cells per line and 25 lines per page. When opening the braille .brf files using the Duxbury Braille Translator, ensure that “read formatted braille without interpretation” is checked in the Global menu under Formatted Braille Importer. The electronic braille version is a single file designed to be read using a refreshable braille display.
