Abstract:
Although innovations in the computerised production of braille have improved braille provision, there remains still a need for manual transcription of more complex and/or specialised material. Relatively little attention has been paid to improving this type of production despite the fact that the manual transcription of braille has two advantageous features - it utilizes a chord keyboard, and the input is encoded. Some implications and areas for future research and development are suggested.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
