[nabs-l] Results of my Rehab meeting

[Loren Wakefield]

To me, the ideal way would be to have both.  I would want an audio one that 
would be on an sd card and the like, and another file on my apex for quick 
searches in class or other activities.  Also to me, having it in braille, 
greatly assist me in my spelling looking better than it might otherwise.  I 
know, it's nice to dream.

Loren

Hi,
Wouldn't it be easier and more convient to have college texts on audio
rather than braille any way? It would take a while to use braille in
college.
