[blindlaw] Question about a law book

As of 2004, I was using flatbed scanners to scan my books in two or three 
hours. Today, my scanner takes 50 pages per minute. Difference: 20 minutes 
worth of scanning.

Plus, I get many of them electronically these days.

Wow!  I'm getting old.  I graduated in 1992, and I never got any help from a
publisher.  All books had to be recorded or scanned, and the OCR programs
stunk back then.

You could also try to get an accessible version through the university's
office for disability services. When I was in law school I purchased the
books, then provided the receipt to the university. The university contacted
the publisher, and the publisher usually provided a PDF of the text on a
CD-ROM. A university the size of Penn State surely has experience providing
this accommodation to blind students.
Good luck,

Will Miller

Dear  Marcos,

With non-legal publishers (who published law-related books), I have had good
luck contacting the publishers directly, and providing any evidence they
asked for concerning course enrollment etc.. They then sent a copy of the
book in pdf on a CD.

Best of luck to you,

Paul
