[BlindMath] Scanning braille for sight reading

[Tami Jarvis]

John,

You might want to ask him if he has a specifc dpi in mind when he says 
"photo." It could be 800 to 1200 dpi. At a guess, I would say go with 
1200 dpi. Expect it to take awhile for the scan and to have one huge 
image file to transmit. That's about all I remember from a few years 
ago, so asking him exactly what he means would probably be the most 
efficient way of giving him what he wants.
