[nabs-l] FYI: two free online converters that don't require you to download software (SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC FOR BRAILLENOTE LIST)

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi everyone,

I'm just emailing to let you all know of two free converters that 
don't require you to download software.  With these resources, 
you can convert audio, video, and text documents to many 
different file types.  The first is a Web site called 
Online-Convert, where you can convert almost any kind of 
document, including PDF, to other types, like PDF to DOC, or DOCX 
to DOC.  You can also convert audio and video files, like WAV to 
MP3.  You can even convert YouTube videos to another type, for 
example, WMV.  Just select this link to go to the site: 
www.online-converter.com.  You can do the same things with the 
second converter, but I think this is even easier.  When you get 
a file you want to convert, send an email with the file attached 
to convert at robobraille.org.  In the subject line, just write the 
file format you want to receive the file in, for example, "PDF 
file to TXT file" and you will receive the converted file in a 
matter of minutes.  There has been discussions on the NABS and 
NFB History lists regarding converting files, so I thought I 
would let you know of these converters.  Hope you find this 
helpful! Feel free to forward this to anybody you'd like to!

"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 of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)
