[Blindtlk] can starting a Braille trascription make money?

[Gary Wunder]

I think there is some money to be made, but many who think about it believe 
their major cost will be for the embosser. Your major cost will be in time 
and in getting someone to help you decide how to format a print document 
meaningfully into Braille. Occasionally you will be able to scan a document 
and produce a good copy, but for the things folks really need and are 
willing to pay for, they want not just your scanner and embosser - they want 
the time it takes to really format their document in a meaningful way. If 
you bill them by the page, they will feel outraged because they will think 
about the cost of paper, so bill them by the hour.

Hi. I need to know if getting a braille embosser and starting a braille 
transcribing business would make any money? Is it just a big waste of money 
or do blind people still use Braille?

Thanks,
T. J.
