[Blindtlk] FYI: two free online converters that don't requireyouto download software (SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC FOR BRAILLENOTE LIST)

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Gary,

I just tried it and it worked for me.  The only thing I could 
guess that made the error occur is that there is a dash in the 
URL that, according to your JAWS settings, JAWS might not have 
read to you.  The Web site is www.online-convert.com, with a dash 
symbol between the "online" and the "convert." If that still 
doesn't work, I don't know what's causing it, but you can still 
use the email service.

Hi everyone,

I'm just emailing to let you all know of two free converters that
don't require you to download software.  With these resources,
you can convert audio, video, and text documents to many
different file types.  The first is a Web site called
Online-Convert, where you can convert almost any kind of
document, including PDF, to other types, like PDF to DOC, or DOCX
to DOC.  You can also convert audio and video files, like WAV to
MP3.  You can even convert YouTube videos to another type, for
example, WMV.  Just select this link to go to the site:
www.online-converter.com.  You can do the same things with the
second converter, but I think this is even easier.  When you get
a file you want to convert, send an email with the file attached
to convert at robobraille.org.  In the subject line, just write the
file format you want to receive the file in, for example, "PDF
file to TXT file" and you will receive the converted file in a
matter of minutes.  There has been discussions on the NABS and
NFB History lists regarding converting files, so I thought I
would let you know of these converters.  Hope you find this
helpful! Feel free to forward this to anybody you'd like to!
