[nabs-l] an awesome online converter

Arielle,

RoboBraille and Online Converter both work with any type of PDF 
file, even image PDF's.

"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

P.S.  The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired 
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.

Hi Vejas,
Do you know if RoboBraille works with scanned PDF images, or just
PDF's that are already readable with JAWS?
Unfortunately I suspect this and other online converter sites 
don't
work with scanned PDF's, which are the ones that really need to 
be
converted in order to be accessible.
Best,
Arielle

 Hi.
 My computer teacher from CSB told me about an amazing site that
 can convert your documents in a matter of minutes! This site
 converts PDF files into DOC and TXT files, as well as other
 types.
 It's called Robo-Braille.  Here's what you would want to do to
 turn a PDF into a DOC:
 1.  Send the e-mail !convert at robobraille.org.  For your 
andbject,
 type in doc, then attach the PDF file on to your e-mail.  Don't
 write anything in the message; just send it.
 Soon after (5-minus minutes, on average, I would say),
 Robo-Braille will send you the DOC file as an attachment.  It's
 awesome and requires no upgrades.
 I hope you like it and find it handy.
 Vejas
