[nabs-l] Textbooks

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Ashley,

In what format do they give you the book in? If you're reading it 
on your PC and it is a supported format, just save it to a thumb 
drive and import the file to your Braille Note by:

1.  From the Main Menu, hit f for file manager.
2.  Then hit t for translation.
3.  Next hit i for import.
4.  Fill out the prompts as necessary for the drive (your thumb 
drive will be called a "hard disk" on the BrailleNote,) folder 
name, and filename.
5.  Hit Enter after typing in the destination filename and it 
should say "1 file imported."

See your manual for all the details.  I do this a lot, but I 
don't want to bore the whole list with all the details.  Hope 
this helps!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

youth in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through 
providing assistive technology and scholarships to camps and 
conventions which help them be equal with their sighted peers.

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
