[nabs-l] Textbooks

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!
Katie

 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.
 Ashley

 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
