[humanser] a few questions about technology

[Serena Cucco]

Hi Renee,

Congratulations on your potential job! :)

I use Kurzweil (sp?) 100 software that lets you scan typed pages into
the computer.  I save the Kerzweil documents into Microsoft Word.  Are
you a client of the Commission for the Blind?  This agency is
sometimes called a rehab agency.  The name varies by state.  If you
are, they should purchase Kerzweil software for you.  I haven't used a
Braille embosser in several years, since I have a BrailleNote, so
don't have a need to emboss documents into Braille.  Hopefully, others
on the list know which embossers are good quality these days and have
the answers to your other questions.

Serena
