The new version of Braille-Note Apex, Keysoft 9.2, converts PDF
files to text. Maybe you can consider getting that.

Hi Ashley,
If the files are in Word or rtf format, you can transfer them
onto
your Braille note for reading by saving them on a flash drive or
sd
card. If the files are in pdf format, they can't be read on the
Braille Note, but if you have open Book or some other OCR
software
you may be able to convert the pdf file into a Word document (the
Save
As Text feature in Adobe Reader also works sometimes). Hope that
helps!

Other times, they are one file per chapter. They are .rtf or
Word files.

What format do you get the materials in from DSS?

Good question.
I think the VR stream is doable, but not sure what format you
need to save
to in order to read on vr stream.
Another question.
If my DSS office gives me electronic material, that I read on
the PC and
with jaws, how can I read them on my braille Note?
Do I just save the files to the PC, then save from the PC to the
thumb
drive or sd card?
Thanks.

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone will have the answer to my questions, anyway
here goes.
I receive my college textbooks on CD, my DS office makes them
with
approval from the book publishers. I can read theses CDs on my
computer
with windows eyes but I would also like to be able to use my
textbooks on
my iPad and victor reader stream as well. Does anyone know how
I would go
about transferring the files from the CDs to each of these
devices or if
it can even be done?
Thanks in advance,
Angela Dehart
