[Blindmath] Question about converting Math Book Content

[Jose Tamayo]

Thanks very much.  I am a member of BookShare but was not aware of this
service.  What is the turnaround that you have had fith them on converting
books and do you have to purchase and send the book to them?

hi Jose,
There is an organization called Bookshare which may be able to help you. 
they will scan and convert any book into Daisy and Braille format.  Books
can be downloaded and read using assistive technology.  They have converted
calculus and AP Statistics books for me in the past with excellent quality. 
You may want to contact their technical support to see if  their books can
be read with InftyReader.  Their website is www.bookshare.org 
Best of luck.

Hello Folks,

 

I have run into a wall with Infty Reader and  performing an OCR on a math
book for a friend of mine; I have sighted help for this.  The book is not
available in electronic format as the Publisher has no such content
available for the book.  I am attempting to figure out if there is another
way to obtain the content from the book with a similar tool to Infty Reader.


 

Any suggestions from this group would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

Jose Tamayo
