Analysis of the Length of Braille Texts in English Braille American Edition,the Nemeth Code,and Computer Braille Code versus the Unified English Braille Code
This study compared the length of text in English Braille American Edition, the Nemeth code, and the computer braille code with the Unified English Braille Code (UEBC)—also known as Unified English Braille (UEB). The findings indicate that differences in the length of text are dependent on the type of material that is transcribed and the grade level of the text. The greater length of text in UEBC was most evident in spatial arithmetic and algebra.
