[Blindtlk] can starting a Braille transcription make money?

[Graves, Diane]

Hi Guys,

I'm inclined to agree with  Dave.  If you already had an embosser, I
might say you might try your hand at it and see what happens, but I
don't know that I would recommend investing in one solely for that
purpose.

I agree.  Until we can get the teachers teaching Braille in the schools,
and 
until we can get the textbooks that are needed for our children, I don't
see 
where Braille transcribing can be beneficial.  Just my opinion.
