[blparent] question about accessible books

[Jane Jordan]

You can translate the file into braille, complete with the proper page
numbers, and it won't cost you.  I have a program on my Mac that does
this.  Makes a .brl file of the text, formats it properly even if it's
a microsoft word or .rtf file, and it puts in the appropriate page
numbers.  You can have it do 40 cells a line, or fewer, depending on
the length of the page.  People can then print it out in B raille, if
they have a printer, or they can read it with a Braille display.

You can email me at
juanitatighan at gmail.com
if you want more information on how to do it.
